I will miss fussing with my buddy. Arthur heart was huge, bigger than the city he loved. Thank you Lord for allowing our paths to cross. He definitely was someone to know.
Arthur was definitely a friend. If he had it, you had it. He would do just little simple things just because he thought about you. Rest in love and peace my brother.
