Uncle Arthur was an exceptional man in every way. He was kind, loving, fun and generous. He never knew a stranger....always made people feel welcome. I will always remember the fun times we had as a child in Uniontown, PA. He told a lot of cool stories and funny jokes. I will miss him very much.

ARTHUR V. P. ROSENECKER was a person like no other. He was a fine example of what all of us should strive to be. A devoted father, grandpa, brother till the last breath, and I'm sure it's the same in the after life. He has touched all of our hearts through the years. I would like to share some of the many great memories I have of him with you. When I was living in New York, before we moved, he used to take me to the railroad tracks, and we would walk around looking for glass bottles and any other thing we could collect. He loved collecting. He collected stamps, coins, bottles, bottle caps, and I am sure many other things. Gramps and I used to sit in Susan's backyard while he smoked a cigar, shot at squirrels, and talked about anything from politics to college and professional football. Boy did he hate squirrels :D. He introduced me to football and gave me my first TV. He was the first person to take me fishing. I still remember my first catch, and it was a Rainbow Trout about 8 inches long. Grandpa always came down to see us as we were growing up. One of the best memories I have was when Grandpa, James, Greg and I used to sit around the kitchen table playing 5 Card Poker, Rummy, and Pinochle till all hours of the night, while grandpa would tell us stories about how he hopped trains and played Poker with many different interesting people. I used to stay up all night watching football with him. I shot my first rifle with him. I drank my first beer with him. One of the last memories I have with him was when Gramps, James, Greg, my dad, and I all went deep sea fishing. We stayed out on a boat all day and caught alot of fish, but Grandpa out did us all by catching a shark. He never turned his back on any of us, no matter how badly we misbehaved. He was very self educated. He didn't go to college, but he still did more with his life than most people who graduate with a Masters do. He loved to read, especially anything to do with the NRA or Tom Clancy books. He was a rich man not by wealth but by heart and knowledge, and I wouldn't trade anything in the world for the experiences I had with him. I love you and always will. ~John W. Gordon II~

Although Grandpa is in heaven, he will always be here with all of us in our memories and hearts. Grandpa has always encouraged me to "knock 'em dead" at swim meets, and he will continue to motivate me to succeed in everything I do. He had a lovable personality that I will miss greatly.

My Grandpa will always be my hero. I idolize him because he remained strong throughout any obstacle that he went through. He also had a heart of gold and felt passionate about everything. Now that he is in Heaven, I am inspired to follow in his footsteps. I love my Grandpa.

Grandpa was an inspiration. He had an extraordinary life and started an extraordinary family. Even though he had so many grandchildren and great-grandchildren, it felt like you were his favorite. We lived on the other side of the country but Grandpa still visited us. He let us know that we were part of the family and we were loved. He overcame more adversity than any of us could ever imagine ourselves doing and never seemed to lose spirit. Even after they took his legs, he would still joke about it. We love you and will always remember you. -Gregory-

I have known Arthur for about 5 years now, and he was a kind, intelligent man who raised along with his wife a great family who for many years to come will be a credit to them. I will miss our card playing.
