Arthur was born in Inverness, NS, October 4, 1926, and was where he lived, managed the family business, and raised a family with his wife of 53 years, Anita (Watson). He passed away peacefully on September 12. A graduate of Acadia University, he returned to the town of his birth to work alongside his father, and was where he began a long life of giving back to the community and province that he so loved. Amongst many of his volunteer activities, he was a member of the former Inverness Town Council, the Inverness Board of Trade, the Racetrack Committee, the Inverness arena Committee, President of the PC Riding Association, a member of the Inverness Industrial Commission, the Nova Scotia Human Rights Commission, and in his younger years was an active Freemason. He is survived by Anita and their two children, Jay (Kelly) and Craig (Lynne); grandchildren Matthew and Angela; and his sister Ruth (Ernie). He was predeceased by his father Morris, Mother Lena, brother Jack, and sisters Dorothy (Elmer), Edith (Harry), and Pearl. The family wishes to express their deepest gratitude to the staff of Inverary Manor for their exceptional care and dedication to the residents, the staff of Inverness Consolidated Memorial Hospital, Dr. Bernie MacLean for his many years of care and friendship, and Dr. Susie Egar for her care and attention in Arthur’s final years. As per his wishes, there will be no memorial service. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Inverness Hospital Foundation.
