He was born on September 10,1930 in Brooklyn, New York, son of Amelia Bottoglione and Antonio Bottone.

Art was a first generation American and the youngest of 5 children. He graduated from The School of Aviation Training in New York City. He served in the U.S. Air Force from 1948 to 1952. Upon leaving the military, he received a degree in Physics from Long Island University. In 1955, he went to work for Westinghouse Electric in the research and development field. During his career he was awarded 13 patents. He also was at the forefront of retail color-corrected lighting, to increase color appeal of products. He retired from Phillips Lighting Corp after 41 years.
Most importantly, in 1958, he married the love of his life, Jean Ormsbee. They had two sons, Arthur "Chip" Bottone, Jr. and Gregory Bottone. The family resided in Old Bridge, NJ. Art was very active in local politics for many years. He served a time as the Chairman/Director of the Old Bridge Water Authority. He was active in community service through the Elks Club, B.P.O.E. 2229, where he served as Exalted Ruler.
Upon retirement, he followed his sons and grandchildren south. They settled in Mount Pleasant and again, Art became very active in the local Elks chapter, B.P.O.E. 242. He also worked as a ranger at the Wild Dunes Resort Golf Course.
Throughout his life, Art never met a stranger. He loved his life, his family and friends, golf and music. He would play his guitar accompanying Jean on sing-a-longs with friends, for hours at a time. He will be dearly missed by all that had the privilege and honor of meeting him.
