David and Jeff may God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. Your father, my uncle, was my childhood Hero. As a young teenager, he was what I also wanted to be. A man of conviction, a man of strenghth, but more importantly a man of honor. Uncle Arthur, I Love You, I am proud of you and you will always be my HERO.
