Mr. England, you live forever in our hearts. We love you!

I just met him this year. Who knew it would be my last. Seems to be a humble man. I Wish your family all the best in your absence.

I was lucky enough to have worked closely with Justice England on various matters during the past several years. He was a special person, brilliant lawyer, and a wonderful mentor to me. I will miss him very much.

Arthur, you were a giant of a scholar. There is such a fitting truism my friend: "sadly your candle burned out, long, long before your legend ever will." There are so many Florida citizens that have benefited from your judicial temperament, wisdom, compassion and inherent knowledge of what's just RIGHT.
May God bless you and your family in this time of loss.

Our very best, old friend, until we meet again. You and your family shared many memories.

We join the England family in mourning the loss of Arthur J. England, Jr. He was a blessing to all privileged to know him. We loved him as a treasured friend, extended family member and consummate colleague.

Dear Deborah and Family,
Arthur and I were old friends from many years ago in Miami Beach and we also shared the same Birthday in the same hospital in Chicago on the same day. We played golf together and had many good times together and I was so proud when he became a Justice. I called him on our last birthday and we said that we would get together and I was very saddened to hear of his passing away. We want you to know our prayers and condolences are with you.

My heart goes out to the England family
Arthur will be remembered for ever. He was my next door neighbor for years. What Memories of Debra going by with the children in a stroller or Aaron coming in with Arthur and playing with the trains. So many wonderful chats on their back porch, he might of been a lawyer but;I always felt like he was a teacher when I left him. I was fortunate to have him as a friend. Much love to all of his family.
