To Mary Beth, Kevin and Lauren, my deepest and sincere sympathy goes out to you all. Arthur was one of the best...if not "THE BEST" person that I have worked with throughout my whole career. He was the ultimate colleague and a great friend. He truly was very proud of his family as we use to swap many stories during our early morning conversations at Distron. I am going to miss him dearly...such a great loss at such an early age. RIP Arthur my friend.

My deepest sympathies for your family. My hearts and prayers. Arthur was truly a great man with a kind heart. I have always thought of him as a mentor, since working with him back in Middleoro. He taught me to have a great work ethic and to be a perfectionist, a value that I carry with me today. He was always giving life lesson in his story telling, I could still here him say â??just the baby, not the labor painsâ?? I will miss him.
