I have some great photos of Arthur and Betty, also them and their beloved dogs, Colby and Daisy. I would like to send them to you and your family. Please contact me at 6179685299. My name is Lisa Buchanan. Your parents were such a wonderful couple for me to visit and help. Especially during some of my most difficult times, they were my grounders.

I am so very saddened to learn about Arthur's passing, especially online. I would like to tell you that he was a wonderful father figure to me during some very difficult times in my life. He was also a wonderful substitute grandfather for my two young children immediately after my divorce, when I had no family support. He used to read to my children, and I really enjoyed visiting and helping both Arthur and Betty in Arlington, and down at the Cape and sharing some fun with our dogs. Both Arthur and Betty were people that helped me ground myself, when other stuff in my life got tough. My deepest condolences to all of you.
