He was also a passionate member of Rotary International and the Sun Valley Chamber of Commerce. Fishing was his passion and he took many friends and family on fishing trips to Mexico and Alaska, Central Oregon, Florida, Minnesota and any place else there were fish to be caught. He is irreplaceable. He will be deeply missed by his family, friends & business associates. A memorial will be held on January 5, 2019 to honor Art and his life.
