From 1955 to 1980 he was the Band Director at David Thompson/Elmwood High School. "Mr. Buss" will be fondly remembered by his many students. In his retirement, Arthur enjoyed working with stained glass, wine making, and travelling in their motor home in Canada and the U.S. In 2007 he moved to White Rock to be closer to his children. The family gives special thanks to the staff at Peace Arch Hospital (ACE and PATH Units) for their wonderful care of Arthur. A family memorial celebration will take place at a later date.
