Deep and sincere condolences to June and the extended family on the loss of Arthur. May he Rest in Peace and Rise in Glory and may sweet and happy memories help to ease your mourning.
Arthur was my double cousin, first cousin and second cousin. But he was more , he was like a brother to me. I always , and will always refer to him as my 4th brother. He was the ROCK in his family. He helped everyone, including the poor. His wish that the collection at his funeral service be given to the Salvation Army is proof of this. MAY THE GOOD LORD HAVE MERCY ON HIS SOUL AND GRANT HIM ETERNAL PEACE. I KNOW THAT RIGHT NOW HE IS IN THE ARMS OF JESUS. BY NOW I AM SURE
THAT HE HAS BROUGHT HIS FATHER, UNCLE JACK, UP TO DATE ON THE EXPLOITS OF HIS GRANDSON JACOB, ON THE CRICKET FIELD IN ENGLAND AND ELSEWHERE.)
