Arthur was the sweetest man I ever met. He was a giver to everyone. He called Malvin Hunter Shearin his brother whom I married all the time just to chat. He had a smile and a laugh that could not be forgotten. I know I will miss those who have gone home to be with the Lord.

Even though Mr. Shearin was not a part of my biological family, he was like the favorite uncle. My father and he were best friends. When my parents were away on vacations, he would always check on me to make sure I was okay. When the weather was nice my Dad and Mr. Shearin were always in our back yard tinkering on one thing or another. Mr. Shearin will be greatly missed.
