    Arthur and his wife were my customers at the beauty shop, he would tell me about his clocks thst he fixed and his garage sales he would do, he took such great care of his wife, Mary, he said he would never place her in a nursing home, she was always with him, he was a gentle soul, I will miss him.

    Arthur was my neighbor, he was always a kind person. I always enjoyed talking to him. The neighborhood isn’t going to be the same without him.
