My sincerest condolences to Arky's family, I have found memories of going to many auction sales with my Dad, and watching Arky work in very cold weather, never complaining. I last saw Arky two years ago at the last Hamilton Antique car parade in Hamilton. A great man, he will be missed and remembered by all. Prayers for the family.
