I just learned today of Arthur's passing. My sympathy goes out to the entire family. I wish I had known earlier. May you all find peace at this time. I will miss the cousin who taught me how to dance. Linda Wood Shiflett

My thoughts and prayers are with the Emerson family. He will be greatly missed. I enjoyed cutting his hair at the nursing home. He was always a joy.

So sorry to hear of Arthur's death. I remember he was a wonderful dancer and enjoyed watching him at the VFW in Amelia.
My deepest sympathy goes out to his wife and family at this sad time
