Arthur retired from L.P.I.S.D. after serving 25 years as a maintenance worker, he enjoyed working with his hands.

Arthur spent most of his time worshiping the Lord. He was an active member of the Lomax Baptist Church where he and Lorenzo attended. He enjoyed spending time with his grand daughter Kimberly, and loved watching her perform with the Color Guard at the Friday night football games. Fishing was also a relaxing past time for he and Lorenzo. He also became involved with the Senior Citizen Center where he met Ms. Isabel. They enjoyed dancing the night away. Ms. Isabel kept him busy and active. After a few years Ms. Isabel passed away. He later found a companionship with Ms. Alma Johnson.
