Yvonne, I am very sorry for your loss. I know you and Arthur had a wonderful life together. Please know that many people are here for you and if you need anything, please don't hesitate to call. When the Wollaston theatre was open, you spent endless hours dedicating your lives to the young and old of the Quincy community. Quincy is a better place because of this dedication. Thank you, Yvonne. Arthur will be truly missed by Quincy and all of his friends. God Bless you, Yvonne.
