Ed Zachery T. Rish My name is Zachery T. Rish and my Dad's name is Bobby Rish. How I met your Dad was at the Eagles, we played pool together. He was sure a very nice guy and I was very sad when I heard what happened to him. He will be missed very deeply. I enjoyed playing pool with him. I will miss him very , very much. I am very sorry for your loss. Jerry and Donna Koster (donnakoster@hotmail.com) We wish all of you our very deepest sympathies for your loss. Art was a longtime friend. He and Jerry enjoyed beating each other at a friendly game of pool and sharing memories at the Eagles. If Donna was abandoned at the lodge and left alone, she could always find Jerry at Art's table or with him at the pool table. It will not be the same at the lodge without him. We will miss him. Rod Clawson (clawsonrj@aol.com) I left Idaho Falls in 1978 for Denver but, will always remember Art for his kindness, unhurried style and most of all his half-smile. He taught my how to drive a "double stick" tractor and then promptly told me to stay out of them! He was a good friend to my father, a good teacher to a kid like me and he will be missed.
