Arthur Paul Notthoff, Jr., a 62-year resident of Menlo Park, died at home January 26, 2017.

He was born in Oakland, CA, on December 8, 1925, and graduated from UC Berkeley, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology with a Master of Science in electrical engineering.

Art was married to Carroll Whitton Notthoff, whose death preceded his in 1998.

For 35 years, he worked at Dalmo Victor, where one of the projects he worked on was the system that beamed photographs of the lunar landing back to Earth.

He was an avid collector and gourmet cook. He volunteered with the Menlo Park Chamber of Commerce Connoisseurs' Marketplace and the Museum of American Heritage (MOAH) in Palo Alto, which displayed many of his collections and where he met his longtime friend Isabel Kennedy.

Art is survived by his three children and their spouses: Ann Notthoff and Dwight Holing of Orinda, Charles Notthoff and Laurie Takao of McKinleyville, and Sally and Arthur Zarnowitz of San Jose, along with six grandchildren: Mary and Sam Holing, Patrick and Nicholas Notthoff and Raymond and Walter Zarnowitz.
