Former legislator Art Small dies at 81

Former state legislator, lawyer, lobbyist and poet Arthur Small Jr. is being remembered by friends, family and colleagues as a renaissance man who brought intelligence and passion to his many undertakings.

“If you were to just rattle off the alphabet, odds are you could name something Art’s done,” said Davenport Mayor Bill Gluba, who served with Small in the Iowa Legislature during the 1970s and 1980s.

And although not featuring every letter, the list of Small’s passions and professions includes attorney, collector, father, husband, legislator, motorcyclist, opera singer, professor, representative, sailor, tinkerer, veteran and writer.

“He was a brilliant guy,” Gluba said. “Art was probably the most intelligent legislator, period. No question about it. He was the smartest guy out there.”
