Arthur loved his job, which he began at the age of 17, driving a truck for 7 Up. He never missed a day of work, even when his children were born. He loved his family with everything he had and was a great provider. His wife, children and grandchildren were his world.
He loved music and especially loved going to concerts; however, his all-time favorite band was the Beatles! His favorite sports team was the Dallas Cowboys. Arthur loved traveling and going on vacation with his family. He loved classic movies – classic everything. He had an undying love for his mother, Minnie. He wanted happiness and peace for everybody.
He will be dearly missed by everyone whose lives he touched.
Arthur is survived by his loving wife, Olga Hernandez McGill; his two daughters: Evette McGill (Juan Carlos Valdez); grandchildren: Asia Valdez, Sareiya Valdez, Jace Valdez and Anaiya Valdez; Melony (Pedro) Campos; grandchildren: Anthony De Phillip, Margarita De Phillip and Gavin Rosas.
