Praying God’s supernatural comfort and strength for the Ruffin Family. The Freeman Family will truly miss Arthur’s presence at our family gatherings, the weekly visits, the support and assistance with the care of our Mom, the constant phone calls and many jokes. Rest knowing that we will continue to love and support Alfred and his family. We’re forever grateful for the time that Jesus allowed us to share together.

Gone to soon! Words are not adequate enough to express the love the Freeman and Brown Family have for Arthur. Arthur was truly a phenomenal man. I, Ann Brown knew Arthur as the daddy of my nephew, as a student at Lawson State Community College, as the young man that delivered my office supplies from Church & Stag. Arthur, was a young man I truly esteemed highly. We are truly going to miss you our buddy from attending the family gatherings, your constant visitations, your big smile. Gone but never forgotten. It is my prayer that God above will strengthen and comfort your loving family during this ordeal. Rest In Peace my Beloved Brother in Christ. Mrs. Ann L. Brown, Spokes Person for Freeman & Brown Family.

Actually “Stretch” , I’m lost for words right now . I’m happy we talked almost daily in April and early May . We have a lifetime of memories from kids to adults . One of my fondest memories was when we played baseball for the Boys Club and you would stretch to shorten my throw from shortstop and Cedric hollering “Go Stretch” , so we started calling you “Big Stretch” , plus you were “Big” . “Boobie” , I’ll see you again on the “Night Shift”
