Mr. Speros,
Sir, as a fellow Marine I would just like to say thank you for your years of dedicated service and sacrifice-first for our Country when you served in the USMC during the Korean War and secondly for the citizens of Rindge when you served with the RFD. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

Semper Fi Devil Dog!

Dear Sandy,
I was saddened to hear about Arthur. Thoroughly enjoyed having Arthur & the 'boys' as clients at Alibec Travel all those years. We had lots of fun with them! We moved out of Sherborn in 2005 to our home in Annisquam. My deepest sympathy to you and your family. He will be missed by all.
Fondly,
Martha Hooper

So many years ago in Brookline in the noisy but wonderful Speros homestead, I was pals with Angie, because he was a neat kid and his family had a doughnut shop. Arthur was one of the older brothers, who always had a smile and a warm greeting for a dorky crew-cut kid named Bob, the one with jelly on his face. Thanks for always being a nice guy Arthur, May You Rest in the arms of Jesus always.

Arthur will surely live on in the hearts and minds of the many family and friends that loved him and valued his friendship. I was a school chum BHS 1952 and was lucky enough to re-connect several years ago through a chance meeting with his sister in the Bahamas. We shared some long phone conversations reliving the past and remembering the friends of days gone by. emails of course were a daily event. Jerry Abrams
