Jul. 12—Arthur Joseph Ahr Albuquerque native, Arthur Joseph Ahr, age 93, our loving father and family rock passed away peacefully at home on Monday, July 7, 2025. Arthur was known for his intellect, polite manner, generosity, and willingness to help others with tax and legal matters. After graduating from St. Mary's High School in Albuquerque, he served in the U.S. Air Force and then earned his business degree from UNM. Arthur then spent most of his career as a computer programmer in various departments at Sandia National Labs (SNL). While at SNL, Arthur also earned a MBA degree from NM Highlands University. After he retired from SNL at age 59, Arthur achieved his life-long dream of earning his Law degree from UNM. He introduced his children to hiking and camping during their early years as a cub scout den leader and taking his children and their friends on backpacking trips in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. Later in Arthur's life, at age 75, he achieved another of his life-long goals, that of reaching the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. Whenever possible, Arthur also loved visiting the family cabin located near Taos, NM. Arthur was the second of three boys born to Amos Ahr and Elizabeth Ann Simon Ahr. His siblings were Theodore (Ted) Paul Ahr (eldest) and Edward August Ahr (youngest). As young boys, during the Depression, the three brothers would come up with ingenious ways to make money. Arthur and his brothers would sell cards, magazines, and glued alphabet pasta letters onto wood depicting pleasant sayings or quotes and sold these things to people in downtown Albuquerque. He was a creative and industrious individual. He consistently offered his support and assistance to his family and friends. Arthur loved reading novels, working in his yard, and he loved animals, especially cats, and always had a pet by his side. He had an adventurous spirit and explored numerous countries across six continents alongside his wife, Patricia. Arthur is survived by his wife of 44 years, Patricia J. Ahr; his children, Cynthia Greenberg (Jack), Andrew Ahr, John Joseph Ahr; and his grandchildren, Joseph Greenberg (Lesley) and Jacob Greenberg (Cash), and great-grandchildren. He is also survived by his step-children, Michele Apodaca, Marty Apodaca, and Lisa Apodaca. On Wednesday, July 16, 2025, a rosary prayer at 9:30 AM will precede the funeral mass at 10 AM at the Risen Savior Catholic Church located at 7701 Wyoming Blvd NE. Internment at the Gate of Heaven Cemetery will follow the funeral mass.
