Thank you, Arthur, for your wisdom , humour and compassion . You were "the salt of the earth". You saved lives and mended hearts.
"Keep it simple and you just might get away with it" Thank you Arthur for all the laughs and talks we had in the oyster shed and over the phone. You shared a lot of your life, wisdom & humour with myself and a host of other people. My sympathy to Valda and the family. God bless you Arthur until we meet again.
I am so grateful to Arthur for his love, attention and wisdom. His sound advice ("Keep it simple") to me from 2000 onwards turned my life around, indeed literally saved my life. His words of wisdom and experience have helped save countless others' lives as well. He was a legend who proved that miracles can and do happen. He gave of himself selflessly to others for many decades. On behalf of all who knew Arthur in the circles in which he moved, my heart goes out to Valda and Roger and all the family. I am honoured to have been asked by the family to conduct Arthur's funeral on Wednesday. (Rev Dr) Ian Ellis-Jones.
