Arthur was one of the nicest poker players we have had the honor of knowing. He was always a gentleman and had a quick smile. He was also the funnest person to golf with. He will be missed by many!!!

Arthur will be missed. He was involved in 95% of our golf stories. I've known Arthur for 30 years through Little league coaching, card games & golf. We always enjoyed the trips to Florida & the Cape. They won't be the same without him.
