Arthur, the days going by are so slow. But filled with memories popping up and just hearing you calling me "lil Swifty" because you knew I hated it. Lord what Id give if I could just hear it one more time! I always knew you had my back along with all Brian's friends. I'll never forget you letting me hit the switches in the ole Buick with the velvet dashboard. Miss you bub. Sending prayers to your family. You'll never be forgotten. You will always be family.

Kristi to you and your family, words can't express the heartache I have for you. I hope in time the memories will outshine the sorrow of the moment.

Arthur was an incredibly kind guy and always knew how to make people laugh! He was always telling people at work how much he loved his family and how great they were. My condolences to his friends and family.

Burton..I am lost for words and my heart is breaking for all. The greatest memories was grandma Flo´s Buick with the most annoying loud kicker speakers and the hydrologic system. I absolutely couldn´t stand either but you loved it! I don´t know how the knobs didn´t break from our up and down volume scraps. Man..was those some fun times. I´ll never forget you ripping your pants and wearing a pair of mine all the way back to school. Installing my radio and you frying your arm hairs off. The skating rink and working every weekend of our lives because we loved skating to that super early morning paper route. And not to long ago running into you at Dairy Queen and us catching up on life. There is way to many memories but the stories could go on and on. Rest easy for you will be deeply missed.
