Arthur has his family and many he touched in the community with strong belief in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ that will sustain us till we meet again. His greatest legacy, according to his children and grandchildren, is the example of his faith. One of Arthur's granddaughters had this to say, "Our Poppa has always been a wonderful example to all of us. He has loved his wife and family with a constant, steady devotion and showed us all the importance of family. His walk with the Lord has been the guiding force in his life and has allowed us all to see God's mercy and grace first hand. We are a stronger family for having him guide us all these precious years." The family is asking in lieu of flowers that donations be made to Midway Bible Baptist Church Building Fund.
