Arthur Verdon

Arthur E. Verdon, age 92, died on Tuesday, June 16, 2020 at Grand Strand Regional in Myrtle Beach, SC.

He was born on November 9, 1927 in the Bronx, NY to Arthur and Anna (Griffin) Verdon. He grew up in the Bronx and later moved to Catskill, NY with his wife, Virginia, where they raised their three children, Isabella, Robert, and Catherine. Later in life he moved to North Myrtle Beach, SC to enjoy his retirement years. He was a member of the United States Navy and proudly served his country during WWII. He then worked as a truck driver for 44 years. He was also a lifetime member of the American Legion, Post 186. Arthur cherished his family and enjoyed spending his time with all immediate and extended family for Sunday dinners, family reunions, and holidays. He loved to chug a glass of wine, even if he didn’t like it. He enjoyed watching JAG and NCIS. Arthur loved his wife and always referred to her as “the love of his life”. Arthur was known for his sweet nature and comedic quips. If someone said “It’s nice to meet you” he’d reply with “What’s so nice about it?”

He is survived by his three children, Isabella Caldwell, Robert Verdon, and Catherine (Allan) Bravo; six grandchildren, Shannon (Ed) Gley, Jessica Aslakson (Bruce), Jason (Johanna) Verdon, Kerry Fenton (Rachael Hillman), Brian Fenton (Kaitlin Mhyre), and Jillian Fenton (Andrew Paquet); and six great grandchildren, Alexis, Zachary, Miles, Adalie, Samuel, and Lucas; and many nieces and nephews. Arthur was preceded in death by his wife, Virginia; his parents, Arthur and Anna; his brothers, William, Andrew, Raymond, Eugene, Robert, and John; his sisters, Dorothy, Catherine, and Gertrude; his son-in-law, Ronald, his daughter-in-law Margaret Foxe; and his great grandson, Richard.

There are no services at this time, however, a celebration of his life will take place at a future date.
