Arthur (Arte) was my best friend’s father. He was a kind and loving person. Many years ago my grandmother was a dispatcher for a taxi cab company that was located at the train station at Depot Square. At that time Arte was walking the beat in downtown Woonsocket and he would stop by the train station to talk with my grandmother. Love and miss you Arte.

Mrs. Robidoux, on behalf of the Wynne siblings and family, may I extend our deepest condolences on this sad occasion. You and your husband visited with us last summer when our mom passed away. I regret that we are unable to be there with you physically at this time, but we are there in spirit.
