Arthur Cable Obituary

September 27, 1951 - September 20, 2016 Arthur (Artie) Cable, Bluesman extraordinaire, scholar, father and beloved friend, passed away peacefully on September 20th surrounded by friends and family. Arthur was a man of enormous passion and knowledge, with eclectic and devoted interests across literary classics, history, music, and performance arts. From W.B. Yeats to the Habsburgs, Mississippi Delta Blues to classical music, Wagner's Ring to The Three Stooges; anything Arthur loved he sought to truly know and understand. Arthur is survived by his son, Wylie Vasquez Cable, Mercedes Tondre (Wylie's mother), his fiancée Suzanne Gardner, and a brotherhood of friends in fellowship.

Arthur you said some very kind words to me many years ago when I most needed to hear them. A wonderful soul. Condolences to your family.

I was Arthur' s classmate in the 1960's at a small private alternative school in Stony Point, NY. We have been looking for Arthur for a long time, and are sad to only find him through an obituary. Arthur was a kind and gentle person, introspective, thoughtful and had long red hair. Condolences to his family...he will live on in our hearts and memories.

Arthur did things in his own way and refused to play the ordinary games. When visiting him from Australia, it was always a great pleasure to consider our unfolding lives. His death is almost like losing a part of myself. Sympathies go to Wylie, Mercedes and Suzanne.

To the Cable Family: My heartfelt sympathies go out to the family and friends during this difficult time. I hope that the promise in 1 Thessalonians 4:14 can bring comfort. Knowing that there's a hope for the ones we have lost in death can be so reassuring.

Grief's sting is unbearable. Healing begins with the God who will mend your broken and crushed hearts. He will help you, because he cares for you.

With sincere condolences to the family. May the God of loyal love comfort your family during this time of need. 2 Corinth 1:3-4 "Who comforts us in all our trials so that we may be able to comfort others in any sort of trial with the comfort that we receive from God. For just as the sufferings for the Christ abound in us, so the comfort we receive through the Christ also abounds."

May you celebrate a life well lived. God keep those who pass on in his memory because they are precious to him. Psalms 116:15. Annie C. Ga.
