Not sure what to say?

Art was one of the best men I ever met. He was compassionate and kind, and could write and deliver the best sermons ever.

Arthur Digby had as profound impact on my life when I was trying to decide what to do with myself while in college. His temperament and advice in those times will always be appreciated. He will be missed.

Dr. Digby was a superb man; the world needs more like him.

My condolences to the Digby family. Art was my minister when I attended First Christian Church in Arlington and my parents, Ben and Virginia Spruance, held him is very high regard. I now live in Washington state, but have not forgotten my ties to First Christian Church nor what a kind man Art was.

Rev. Digby was pastor at First Christain in Plainview where I attended as a kid a very sweey loving man Rest in Peace

Many years ago, when I was a rebellious teenager running with Steve, doing a lot of things unsupervised teenagers will do, Rev. Digby often would offer advice and listen to the issues that I was facing. I didn't listen then, but the words did sink in and help me lead a productive life. I offer my condolences to the family.

I am deeply sorry for your loss. Dr. Digby was my childhood pastor growing up at FCC Arlington. He married my parents, and subsequently participated in my deication as a newborn. I always loved and respected Dr. Digby. My grandparents, Walt & Glenda Manly,were always talky highly of him, and rightfully so. He was always pleasant and willing to lend an ear whenever the time arised. I will miss you Dr. Digby. You will forever have a place in my heart and thoughts.

Dr. Digby was my pastor in Arlington and I was so privileged to know him and Joy. He never forgot his "flock"...he even contacted a colleague when my daughter was in school out-of-state, asking that he remember her as she visited his church while there. He was a good man,a dedicated pastor and a blessing to those who knew him.
