Arthur F. Alt's Obituary
Arthur Fredrick Alt passed away after suffering two severe strokes on March 29, 2014, at the Louisiana State University Health Center in Shreveport, LA.
Art was born on February 24, 1948, to Art and Elinor (Martel) Alt in Elgin, ND. He was baptized and confirmed at Zion Lutheran Church in Elgin and also attended school there, graduating from high school in 1966. Art went on to study at Dickinson State College and graduated with a Bachelor of Science Degree in 1970.
Art married Shirla M. Roth in 1969, and they taught together in Glasgow, MT for a year. They then moved back to Elgin where Art went into business with his parents at the Coast to Coast Hardware Store. Their marriage was blessed with the births of Casey Ryan on August 19, 2973 and Aaron Matthew on September 7, 1975.
During his years in Elgin, Art was active in the community as a Jaycee, Lion, and Zion Lutheran Church member. He enjoyed playing softball, golfing, and attending high school athletic events. Much family time was spent playing, swimming, and fishing at Lake Tschida.
In 1988, Art and his family relocated to Eagle Pass, TX. Art later lived in California, Texas, Louisiana, and Japan and worked as a teacher, retail manager, and casino dealer. Wherever he lived, he returned to Elgin as often as he could to visit family and friends and to fish on Lake Tschida.
Art is survived by his mother, Eleanor Hoks, Elgin, ND; his son, Casey of Taipei, Taiwan; his son, Aaron of Austin, TX; his fiancé, Reiko Muller, and her daughter, Marika Muller, of Bossier City, LA; his sister and brother-in-law, JoAnn and Henry Eslinger, Maricopa, AZ, his sister and brother-in-law, Sandy Schmitz and Marvin Kubousek, Sturgis, SD; two nephews, three nieces, four great nephews, and three great nieces.
Art was preceded in death by his faither, Art Alt, his step-father, Emmett Hoks, and his brother-in-law, Dennis Schmitz.
A Memorial Service will be held at 1:00pm on Friday, May 23, 2014 at the Evanson-Jensen Funeral Home in Elgin. Pastor Bob Edwards from Zion Lutheran Church in Elgin will officiate.
