One of the kindest devout men of faith that I ever met. We served in church together. Sat next to each other in the choir. He was my math professor at SCC, and he knew how much I could not math, LOL. Mary and Amanda have lost a rock in the foundation of their lives, but heaven has gained. Prayers to the family.

I am so sorry for Arthur's passing, but I know that he is in heaven. Arthur loved God, his church and his family. May you be consoled that he is with Jesus.

Arthur hired me at SCC in 1992 to work in the Math/Science Dept.
33 years later, I retired from Higher Education. Arthur was a terrific and kind person. He was soft spoken, and he gave me a start in my new teaching career (after serving in the military). The "Math Lab" days were a special part of my teaching career. I met my wife (to be) in the "Math Lab"! Condolences to the family! Arthur loved his family!
Sincere prayers,
Frank Carothers, Ph.D.

Arthur and I have been friends for many years. He and I had many, many baseball discussions. He was a wonderful teacher, husband, father, and friend. Emily and I, express our sincere condolences to Amanda and Mary.

Arthur was outstanding in his life, faith and devotion to his wife and daughter. He leaves a great void in my life and the lives of all who knew him. Arthur is now with Jesus our Lord.
