Arthur's love of family, the game of golf, camping, woodworking and the Patriots gave him the most joy.

He enjoyed playing with his sons, grandsons, granddaughter, and his golf buddy's Tommy, Rick and Marty. He cherished the annual camping trip with his entire family to Point Sebago for 33 years. Most importantly he lived a life of love, compassion, respect for others and was admired by so many people, especially his family. He was truly a great man, wonderful daddy, father-in-law, gramp and GG. We will miss him daily.
