Arthur was a sweetheart, always kind to everyone never raising his voice. He was with my fiancée on the Austin high tennis court when he suffered a heart attack. He continued to be a friend to me for another 30 years! I loved him like a brother/ father. He was a true friend! He had so much patience and tried to teach me to play tennis. He was a great manager and his employees loved him dearly! You will be greatly missed Mr C! Love always!

I had th privilege of working withnArthur from 1990 to 1999 and 3003 thru 2006. He was one of the kindest and smartest people that I’ve ever known. But what as the most striking thing as th depth and breadth of his knowledge so many subjects. He was a true and honest human. 

Uncle Ralph was always such a tall, handsome man. Although, 14 years older than I, he was always like a cousin. He was my first glimpse of "Cool". 
With him goes the last of a generation that were the leaders of our family for so many years, but he joins his parents and sisters in eternal life. He will be missed here in this life and welcomed in the next. 

I just remember idolizing Uncle Ralph. Thought he was the coolest person I knew, and he was. Loved his wry sense of humor and his little laugh. How he would tease us in a very subtle way.  Loved him, and will miss him greatly.
