Growing up I only ever got to see you a few times a year when we stopped by after my heart appointments. This last year or so where you’ve lived with us is even more special now. I’m glad I was able to get to know you more and be around you more before you left us. I’m also glad my grandpa got to meet my daughter. I miss you Poppy and I love you. Thank you for always being there for me and for brightening up the house and my days. Never forget me wherever you are. I’ll see you around.
Had many a good years drinking coffee, playing cards, intense conversations and a great friendship with Arthur (Bubba) and Laretta! Sending my prayers and love to the family, its never easy loosing a loved one.
Although my daughter and I didn’t know Arthur very long he was a true gentleman that was enjoyable to be around. He shared with my daughter and I about his family and his grandchildren who he was so proud. My husband passed a couple months ago and he shared with us about how hard is was for him loosing his wife. Rest in peace sweet man

I am truly grateful to have known Arthur, I lived next door to him for many year’s.
I grew up knowing him as a neighbor and friend, throughout my childhood and into adulthood, anytime we talked, he always had a smile and a kindness to share that was beyond measure.
He was a friend to me and my family, he believed in being honest and straightforward, he looked you in the eye when he spoke and never failed to shake my hand. He was a good man and a great friend to me, I carry a part of him with me even today in my everyday walk of life.
Regardless of what kind of day he may of been experiencing, I will never forget you brother.
I would like Arthur’s family to know, from my family, even though we may no longer be neighbors, we will always remember and cherish the memories of our time as neighbors and friends.
God Bless you all and your families.
