                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, April 14, 2016

  Mr. CALVERT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor and pay tribute to 
the remarkable Arthur ``Art'' Robert Seidler who passed away in 
California on Wednesday, March 30, 2016. Art was a pillar of the 
community in Corona, California, and he will be deeply missed.
  As a child, Art moved from Chicago, Illinois, to Glen Avon in 
Riverside County, California. After attending Riverside Poly High 
School, Art enlisted in the Army Air Corps in March of 1942, where he 
would ultimately fly B25 Medium Range bomber planes. In a highlight of 
his time in military service, Art was given orders to fly a brand new 
B25 from San Francisco to Hawaii, where it would be outfitted for 
combat. Art immediately flew the new plane and buzzed the house of his 
girlfriend Patricia Smith, who later became his wife and mother to his 
three children Kurt, Trudy, and Robert.
  Following his military service, Art went to college at the University 
of Southern California where he obtained an undergraduate degree in 
business and a law degree. After passing the California State Bar, Art 
worked for the Riverside District Attorney and later joined the Ganahl 
and Ganahl law firm in Corona. Eventually Art started his own law 
practice alongside his son, Kurt, where he practiced law for the next 
thirty-six years. As an active member of the Corona community, Art was 
a dedicated member of the Corona Elks Club on East Sixth.
  The way in which Art lived his life should serve as a reminder that 
the power of an individual with drive, perseverance and a strong work-
ethic can do great things. His dedication to his work, family, and 
community are a testament to a life lived well and a legacy that will 
continue. I was proud to call Art my friend and I will deeply miss him. 
I extend my condolences to Art's family and friends; although Art may 
be gone, the light and goodness he brought to the world remains and 
will never be forgotten.
