Arthur was a Vietnam veteran serving as a medic. He received two bronze-star medals for heroism in ground combat and meritorious achievement in ground operations against hostile forces.
Arthur loved Jesus with all his heart and his life certainly exemplified his love. He was a very compassionate, caring, kind, soft spoken, loving man. He was a man of few words, lots of jokes and laughter.
Those wishing to remember Arthur in a special way may make gifts in his memory to Campion Academy, where Arthur and Eileen met and later married.
