Mr Sheffield(aka) Old Man
I met you at 17yrs of age and you and your family welcomed me with open arms, lovingly. I spent more than me at your home than my own and eventually bringing my children. I miss when you would bring me coupons and sit for a conversation and coffee. You´re going to be deeply missed. Even by all the pretty girls you used to tell me about. Mr Sheffield the man of smack talking and jokes. Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to be your included as family!

I knew Arthur from my time at Millstone as well. He had a sharp wit and an excellent demeanor. The family is certainly and rightfully proud of his military service. I understand the stress deployment to a combat theater of operations can place on the soldier and the family. Job well done, good and faithful soldier!

I worked with Arthur for many years at Millstone Nuclear Power Station. He was a very hard working man who spoke lovingly and often about his family. This is a picture of him and his beautiful "Flo" from his retirement dinner in 2003. Rest easy my friend.

I worked 3rd shift with Arthur for many years, he helped train me. He was mischievous, proud and could calm a crisis with his humor. I´m sorry for your loss Flo, he talked about you often.
