A great gentleman, sailing companion and matchmaker. A cruise to Penobscot Bay led to a beautiful marriage for Ed and I and a lasting friendship. Bless you. Peaceful waters.

Grandad is deeply missed, but I will hold the memories I have of him dear to my heart. He has always inspired me to live life to the fullest and take on new adventures with a zest for life. I am comforted knowing he is keeping an eye on us from heaven and some day we will see each other again. Sail on Grandad, sail on to the biggest adventure yet.

Dad carried me on his shoulders to take the trolley to BC to visit his friend Fr. Casey who baptized us all. We read his book on Asian Art,he brought me to majorette practice,and bought us a boat to sail at the Squantum Yacht Club. You know the rest if the story. Dad God Bless, We'll see you in heaven.

I have very fond memories of your father - some of my own: sailing in Boston Harbor or celebrating holidays - and some my mother shared as Arthur's older, and only sister.
My family and I send our sincerest condolences. May God bless Uncle Arthur and all of you.
