Venita Hebert wrote a sympathy message

“I often sat and talked with Mr. Arthur on the bench in the park in Milner. One I was there running and he was sitting on the bench. I stopped and spoke to him and from there a friendship was forged. We often spoke about life, God, family and he gave me an unlimited amount of wisdom. I'm glad we met and he will truly be missed. Venita”
