I worked at Garden view where Arthur resided, Jane is wife was an avid visitor and i loved getting to know her during the last few years. I am very truly sorry for your loss and my thoughts and prayers go out to you during this time. He was loved and will be missed by many.
It was my privilege to get to know Arthur’s wife, Jane when she visited Arthur at Garden View Care Center and hear about Arthur’s background. He was a true military hero. He was a sweet man and will be missed by many. Thank you for your dedication to him Jane.
I work in activities at the nursing home Arthur resided at. He was a good guy with a great sense of humor. I had the privilege of knowing him for over a year. Arthur enjoyed musical entertainment, ice cream social, being out with other residents, and much more. He loved popcorn and loved anything chocolate. He could eat 2 to 3 chocolate ice creams in one sitting. He also enjoyed talking with staff and residents. Arthur will be missed. My deepest condolences to Jane and the rest of Arthur’s family. May Arthur’s memory be a blessing. May he Rest In Peace.
