I always enjoyed a little chat with Arthur when he would come into the shop in Liverpool where I worked. He had a sharp memory and his stories were always interesting. My thoughts are with his family during their time of sadness.

Family of Arthur,
I had the pleasure of knowing Arthur my whole life, I am the daughter of Stephen and Wendy Whynot, we were Arthurs neighbor on Morton Street, Milton. Arthur always had a special chocolate bar for me each Halloween!
I had the pleasure of knowing Arthur in my recent years through working at Queens Manor, I had many lovely visits with Arthur and he made sure that everything was taken care of in his dining room. He was a darling man, and his presence will be missed.

Just got a note from Phyllis including Arthur’s Obit.I am so sorry to hear of his passing. I am sure you will all miss him very much. We last saw Arthur in May 2010, when we visited him at the other nursing home. Although it was a very short visit we enjoyed it and we were glad to see him one more time.
Please accept our sincere condolences on the loss of your loved one. no matter how many years we are lucky enough to have them it doesn’t change the heartache when they go.
