Arthur MIHALCHEON Obituary
May 13, 1931 to November 6, 2014
Arthur Alexander Mihalcheon passed away peacefully Thursday afternoon at the Royal Alexandra Hospital at the age of 83 of natural causes.
Arthur is predeceased by his loving wife, Margaret-Rose Mihalcheon of fifty-seven years. He is survived by his four children, six grandchildren; daughter, Kimberly, Ryan, Meredith, Austin; daughter, Melissa, (Alan), Evan-Margaret; son, Gregory (Andreia), Pace, Nova, and son, Marcus.
Arthur Alexander was born of humble beginnings in the homestead community of Hairy Hill, Alberta. Pursuing his dream to succeed in business he moved to Edmonton, Alberta in the early 1950's. Here he met the love of his life, Margaret- Rose Pearson. Always a visionary, and maintaining his pioneering spirit, Art embarked on a series of ventures beginning in autobody repair and sales, wrought iron awnings and railings, culminating into a Western Canadian manufacturing success story known as Steel-Craft Door Products Ltd.
As a proud Edmontonian, Art's business accomplishments and civic pride enabled him to contribute to many organizations spanning the arts, education, sports and medical communities.
Art will be sorely missed by all those he touched in his personal and professional life.
Visitation Tuesday, November 11 from 1:00 p.m. until 2:30 p.m. with Funeral Service to follow at 3:00 p.m. at Park Memorial Chapel, 9709 – 111 Avenue, Edmonton.

It was with great sadness that I heard of Art's passing. As a cousin from the farm area around Hairy Hill my memories go way back to childhood. Last visited with him at his business in 1991. Truly an inspiration. My condolences to his family. Cousin Stella Kachuk Spears, New Albany, Indiana

Many condolences to Art's family. What a privilege to have worked for many years for such a sharp mind and such a wonderful person. Art was inteligent beyond imagination, fair to a fault and filled with compassion. Both he and Marg were very kind to us and showed us both a great deal of respect. We feel a deep sadness at the loss. May the souls of both of them now rest in deserved and eternal peace.

Kim, Greg, Marcy and Marcus, Our condolences on the passing of your father, Art. We knew him as a young man who played hockey at Hairy Hill . He was one good forward. He had a vision of becoming wealthy and he did it on his own. A true story of a boy with a mission. He was not afraid of work nor of taking risks. The risks paid off and made all of us proud. Well done, Art! Art and Marg made a great team and we cherish the times we spent with them. Hang on to memories of precious times . Dad' work is done. Tom and Shirley Ewanchuk

Kim, Marcy, Greg & Marcus,
We were very sorry to learn of Art's passing - it made us remember all the great times we had together with your parents. (Not to mention Marcus and the soccer team) Most of all I want to tell you that it was a pleasure to deal with Art and Steelcraft for the 10 - 12 years I owned Barcol. He was an honest, smart businessman and he always kept his word.
Love, Brenda & Mel Marti

Our condolances on the passing of your father. Art played hockey on my team years ago & I worked for him on his building hauling gravel and compacting. Our paths crossed in life either at our golf course or at an Oilers hocky game. He will be missed.

Kim, Marcy, Greg and Marcus,
We are so sorry to hear of your loss; we remember some very happy times with your father and mother and hope that your memories of happy times will help you at this difficult time for your families.
Art was a great help to me when I first got into the door business; he was so knowledgeable and quite willing to pass this knowledge on.
I am happy to have had a nice visit with your Dad last month but sorry that, as we are out of the country, will not be able to attend the funeral.
We wish you all the best.
