Arthur lived his life with a whole lot of determination, love, laughter, leadership and a great sense of humour. Arthur loved his church, held many positions on committee’s and was the first Eucharistic Assistant at St. Boniface Church, he volunteered in his community, and was part of many committees. His passion after he retired was the 50 plus club, he spent many hours working for that group and he was a member of the Seniors Federation. Arthur loved a good game of cards, dancing and having fun.
He was a friend to everyone and he would challenge anyone if there was something needed to benefit his community.
In keeping with his wishes cremation has taken place. Funeral Service will be at St. Boniface Church, Ramea at a later date with Rev. Wilhelmena Green (daughter) officiating. Internment to follow at St.Boniface Anglican Cemetery.
