Art Buchwald dies at 81 after choosing to forego life-extending treatment
Pulitzer Prize winning columnist Art Buchwald died at home at 81 from kidney failure after rejecting dialysis and hospice care last February. He lived another year beyond expectations, resumed his column, and wrote a memoir about the experience. Born October 25, 1925, in Mount Vernon New York, Buchwald served in World War II, married Ann McGarry in 1952, and built a global syndication with more than 500 newspapers. He is survived by three children and five grandchildren and will be interred at Vineyard Haven Cemetery on Martha’s Vineyard.
