I never met Arthur in person, and know him from posts he made online and communications back and forth in that venue. We saw eye to eye on politics for the most part. Both like International Pickups and older vehicles, and I thought I had located a key part for him when he stopped posting. Now I know why. I will miss his commentary and interacting with him and his anecdotes of a place well removed in geography and much else. He was proud of serving this country, and I salute him for that. In the years we corresponded, I came to see him as a friend, someone whom I could count on to give me his honest opinions, unvarnished, and concise. We are all poorer for his passing, and I only pray more like him step forth in this country's future. I pray the God he questioned greets him with open arms for a warrior and a friend.
