Arthur was an Army Veteran of the Korean War. He was a Roofer for most of his life. Upon retirement, he worked as a Custodian for the Warwick School Department. In his spare time, he enjoyed a good day on the Bay fishing, although he did more cruising than catching any fish. He had a passion for his hobby of keeping tropical fish. I guess you could say it was one way he was guaranteed of catching a fish. Cooking was also a pastime he enjoyed, he subscribed to many cooking magazines looking for new ways to amaze us with his cooking skills.

A Visitation will be held Thursday, February 10, 2022 from 10-11 am followed by a Service at 11 am in the Thomas and Walter Quinn Funeral Chapel, 2435 Warwick Ave., Warwick. Burial with Military Honors will be in the RI Veterans Cemetery, Exeter.
