Arthur Edwy Meyer

"Wonderful glorious father" will be deeply missed by his beloved wife of 65 years, Vivi-Ann and his five children Terry, Nancy, Danny, Laura and JAK, and the 'outlaws' Andrew, Jim, Bea, Frank and Janice, as well as numerous loved grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews and dear friends. The Bridge Club will have a new member in heaven today.

Art leaves a legacy of achievement. His first career was as professional hockey player with the Saskatoon Quakers of the Western Canada Hockey League from 1949-1951. He married his high school sweetheart Vivi-Ann in 1951 and chose to get a real job with Hi-Way Refineries to support his growing family. He moved on to Royalite Oil and then to Associated Engineering. Art was a visionary in the field of alternate fuels, instrumental in developing ethanol fuels with RDC Research and Development and then Mohawk Oil. He loved his bee farm in Rollyview and rolling up his sleeves in the garden or vineyard. He leaves big shoes to fill as a man of integrity, faith, courage and humour. Art found time to be a Director/Board Member of the Calgary Booster Club, University of Calgary Board of Governors, The Glencoe Club, Consulting Engineers of Canada, The Canadian Renewable Fuels Association, Northern Alberta Institute of Technology, Aventura Energy Inc., National Biotechnology Committee, a Trustee of First Baptist Church Foundation, a member of the Men's Chorus, and President of the Open Door Seniors Fellowship. Art was in charge of rural campaigning for Premier Peter Lougheed's first sweep to power and second term in government and he was proud to contribute to a Province he loved.

A Celebration of Life will be held at First Baptist Church, (1311 4 Street SW, Calgary, AB), on Saturday, November 19, 2016 at 11:00 a.m.

If you so choose, Art would be honoured by a donation to the charity of your choice or to the interdenominational Open Door Fellowship, (1311 4 Street SW, Calgary, AB T2R 0K4), where he worked tirelessly to provide a place for seniors to gather.
