Not sure what to say?

So sorry to hear of Arthur's passing. We have many fond memories of his visits to our home on Long Island. It was a pleasure to have had him be a part of our lives.

Your dad played a huge part in our lives as being a wonderful friend to my parents, Clint and Nellie Brelsford, he officiated at our marriage 47 years ago, baptized both of our daughters, and gave Carrie her first communion. We were able to visit him occasionally when he resided at Crosby Commons, and we are thankful to...

My deepest sympathies to you and your family. Although we were not a member of his church, I would see him periodically as I lived in the same neighborhood. He was truly a wonderful vicar and someone we always admired. May God's strength be with you and your yours.

He always asked about my parents and brothers-remembering everyone's name! That's a gift in itself. I am truly sorry for your loss, but am thankful that we all had him in...

I am sorry to hear of your loss. I will advise my mother, Betsy Stosse. I know that my parents were close friends for a long long time.
