Art Ginsburg, a longtime Studio City activist and owner of Art's Deli, died Wednesday. He was 78.
Ginsburg was very involved in the local community, and sat on the board of directors of the Studio City Improvement Association over the past year even with failing health.
After a battle with cancer a few years ago, he passed the torch of his deli to his children after 53 years—it's one of the longest-running businesses on Ventura Boulevard (it opened in 1957.)
His son Harold said he was delighted to take over the business at
the time, but knew he had big shoes to fill, and Art was often at the deli greeting customers even after his "retirement."
On their Facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/ArtsDeli it says:
With sadness and a heavy heart we share the passing today of Art Ginsburg - February 19, 1935 to July 24, 2013.
Rest in Peace - May your journey continue.......
