Arthur,

I am your nephew Rafael Gonzales son of Jesus (Ralph) and Margarita Trejo Gonzales. Your Tio Jesus was my grandfather and oldest brother to your father. 

Like my father and Great Uncle Alfred, we looked at each other as cousins because of similar age.

Though we didn’t interacted much with each other, but I still remember the few times as kids when we came over to visit your family.

We were just kids who only knew how to play with simple make swift toys like stick that became a magical sword and or a rifle.

Author I didn’t know of your death until yesterday....days before my wife and I were passing by Fairmont and made mention to her as to where you lived and me wanting to come see you.

Farewell my Uncle, my Cus, and my friend... May God be with us when we meet again.

Sincerely,

Rafael Gonzales 

My deepest condolences for Alma and your family.  I have so many fond memories working with Arthur at Shell and doing things like softball and golf away from Shell.  There's so many stories I could tell.  I respected him tremendously seeking is advice at times.  Enjoyed working with him and while I was happy for him when he retired, I've missed working with him.  My thoughts and prayers are with your family as you go forward.

Our condolences for losing Arthur at an early age. We partied socially (including you Alma) and worked together at Shell for many years and will always have memories of those times. May your family always treasure the good thoughts during this trying, sad event and know that faith & time will eventually ease the sorrow as your lives go on without Arthur. God Bless!

Alma our dear friend, our sincere condolences, our hearts brake for you and your beautiful family, Denise, Art Jr., and your precious grandchildren.  There are no words that can be said that will console you and your family in the loss of your  loved one.  Arthur was a wonderful person, a stellar husband that loved his wife, children and grandchildren. He fought as hard as he could for his family but his burden was heavy. Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior  received him with open arms. May he rest in peace.  Rudy & Hilda Sepulveda.

I am so sorry for Alma and the entire family.  I always knew Anna was in good hands when she was with Cynthia, Alma and Art.  Art treated Anna like a daughter.  He was an awesome man.  I pray for comfort knowing Art is in Gods heavenly and loving hands.

My thoughts and prayers go to the entire Gonzales family.  Art was always smiling and helpful to anyone who needed it.  I will always remember playing golf with Art and a number of colleagues every other Friday - the one thing we did was laugh, compete, and have fun.  Art will be missed.  

My condolences to Art's family and friends.  I knew Art through Shell and can say that he was always one of the nicest and most helpful guys around.  So sorry for your loss.

My deepest condolences to Alma and the family.  What a beautiful legacy he leaves behind.  Will keep the family in my prayers.

Love,

Dear Gonzales family,

Sincere condolences to your family on Arthur's passing.
When one man leaves this earth there is sadness, but when he arrives in heaven there is joy.
May God lay his hands on you, bless you and guide you through this time.

Dear Alma and Gonzales family, may God give you strength and wisdom during this most difficult time in your lives.  Tino and I had the pleasure of calling Arthur friend since we were in middle school we know how deeply he will be missed by his family, sincerely Tino & Mellie Aguilar

So sorry for your loss. My sincere condolences to the family with thoughts and prayers. Blessings to all

To Art Jr., and the Family
May the love of God keep you in perfect peace during this difficult time. Know that special prayers are being sent up for each of you. Cherish the memories, for they are more precious than gold. 
"Those who know your name trust in you, for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you." Psalm 9:10. Seek the Lord to help you. Be blessed always.

With great sadness, my condolences go out to Arthur's family and all his friends. I always considered Arthur one of my good friends and I hope he felt the same. We worked together at Shell for many years, he was always a pleasure to talk to especially about softball and golf. Our golf group really missed him when he was not able to join us for those wild and crazy golf outings we had on our Fridays off. He was always so soft spoken when he talked to you, even when he was trash talking during our golf matches. Arthur was a pleasure to work with, he was so knowledgeable and never hesitated to help you when you needed it. As a co-worker he was a great role model for everyone that he worked with. I learned a lot from Arthur about work, golf but mainly about being a good person and friend.....Thanks Arthur for being my friend!

Alama,
 My prayers go out to you, Denise, and Art Jr. for your loss. I had the extreme pleasure of sharing an office with Art for 10 years at Shell and what I will miss most is his laugh. We had great times together at work and on the golf course. He was one of my best friends and I will truly miss him. 

I will never forget the blazin hot chicken wing eating rivalry between Art and Noella during lunch at Buffalo Wild Wings. Fun memory of a really nice human being.  Rest In Peace, Art.
