  9. We are deeply saddened by the passing of Arthur, a truly cherished member of our community. Arthur was the embodiment of kindness and courtesy—a true gentleman in every sense. His warmth and genuine care for others touched everyone who had the pleasure of knowing him.
    Arthur had a remarkable way of making people feel seen and appreciated. He was endlessly complimentary, always finding something positive to say about everything we did. His joy for life was infectious, and his presence brought light and laughter wherever he went.
    My husband will especially miss Arthur’s weekly handwritten riddles—clever, whimsical puzzles that he could never quite solve, but always looked forward to. They were a testament to Arthur’s playful spirit and thoughtful nature.
    Arthur’s absence leaves a quiet space in our hearts, but his memory will continue to inspire kindness, curiosity, and joy. He will be missed more than words can express.
    Lots of love on behalf of all residents and staff at Heritage Manor.
