Arthur "Art" Falzer, the owner of C.J. Arthur's, passed away on Jan. 31, an unnamed family friend told Patch.
C.J. Arthur's, which closed in Sept., was a longtime favorite location for locals. It billed itself as "Wilmette’s only nightlife!" Falzer owned the business for 23 years.
"The Wilmette/Kenilworth Chamber of Commerce is saddened by the loss of Art Falzer and for 25 years, C.J. Arthur’s has been a valued Wilmette business," the Wilmette/Kenilworth Chamber of Commerce said in a statement. "Art and the Falzer family have supported and given back to the community. Young and old remember C.J.’s as a family destination and enjoyed the many great times including the Friday fish fry, lunch after soccer, Karaoke night and music by local bands, to name a few. We will miss his welcoming smile."
Falzer's memorial service is set for 11 a.m. on Saturday Feb. 23 at the First Congregational Church of Wilmette.
