Jay:

So sorry to hear of your dad's passing.

I'll always remember my high school rock and roll band ("The Nightriders") all going to Johnny Walkers and purchasing our gold embroidered vests ... and your dad being the one who fitted us ... making us look so wonderfully '60ish at all or gigs.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you for a most wonderful man who I never saw without a smile on his face and a Hello for everyone he came in contact with.

We were all blessed to know Arthur. He had an amazing ability to make everyone he met feel special. I will miss Arthur but I want to remember Arthur by all the fun and good times we shared. From the time he and Rose offerred to adopt me and I told Jay I was moving into his old room, to the Christmas tie story, to the shut-in story, all the times at the lake fishing, etc. There are many wonderful memories. May God bless Arthur and the family he loved so dearly at this sorrowful time.
