We will miss our dear friend and traveling buddy. Wish we could say goodbye in person, but our hearts are with you and the family. Love, Steve & Char
Dearest Betty, Dave, Karen & Libby, Our heartfelt thoughts go out to you at this very, very sad time. Our little Westerholme Way cul-de-sac will never be the same without Art — most especially his fun propensity to set off fireworks at any given time — and not necessarily on the 4th of July !!! He always waved “hello”, put the flag out on memorable days and made the absolute BEST lemon meringue pie in the world. He will be truly missed. The Dibblees share in and recognize this significant loss. Much, much love to all of you.
Betty and family, all the Hughes send our deepest sympathy on the loss of your dear Arthur. He was one special guy …always a twinkle in his eye … always a friendly greeting … And for sure a trooper to the end! Art will be sorely missed. Love to all, Ann
