Arthur was a true friend to myself and Wendy of Tender Massage in Wilmington as he was always so happy and outgoing to each of us and will be sorely missed. He always gave Wendy a big hug when he seen her each morning and she loved getting those hugs from her favorite budha!!! Our thoughts and prayers go out to Arthur's family. Whenever Wendy and I had breakfast, he always made it a point to stop and say Hi. He truly will be missed by all of us, but not forgotten.
