Arthur was born July 10, 1921 in Malad, Idaho to Cecil and Frances S. Hunter.
He married Myrtle Chugg on July 23, 1940. She was the love of his life and took care and cherished him to the end.
Art served in WW11 and received an honorable discharge from the U.S. Army Engineer Corp.
He was the Commodore for the Ogden Pineview Yacht Club. He was also one of the original members of the Boat Club.
Hunting was one of his favorite pastimes. He walked thousands of miles exploring the beauty of the outdoors with his dog and his favorite hunting companion, his son, John.
He worked at Defense Depot Ogden as an accountant and also for the Gardens Retirement Home.
His hobbies included his snowmobile group and a real love for horses.
He is survived by his wife, Myrtle, of Ogden; his daughter, Sharon Travers, San Francisco, Calif; his son, John A. and Jolene Hunter, Tempe, Ariz.; and his daughter, Nancy H. and Steve Arneson, Ogden; his grandchildren: Alexandra and Zoe Travers; Nocelyn and Staci Hunter; Tessa Chase and Victoria Arneson; one great-grandson, Zachary; and his mother, Frances Hunter Blood.
He was preceded in death by his father, one brother, one sister and one grandson.
Our father always took care of all the older neighbors when we were kids, when our father became ill, his neighbors began looking after him and our Mom. We would like to thank the neighbors that helped our father, especially Joe and Joan Clark. He would also like to especially thank Terry Thompson – without her help, Art would not have been able to stay home.
Funeral services will be held at the graveside on Wednesday at 1 p.m. at the Ogden City Cemetery where Military Honors will be accorded.
Friends may call at Lindquist’s Ogden Mortuary, 3408 Washington Blvd. on Tuesday evening from 6 to 7 p.m.
