Dear Aunt Grace, Graydon, Glen and Laurie,
I was so very sorry to hear of Uncle Don’s passing. He was a wonderful man who always had a hug and a smile for me whenever we saw each other.
Unfortunately I am in Ottawa this week so will not be able to attend the service. I will be there with you in heart and mind on Wednesday and will keep all of you in my thoughts and prayers during this very difficult time.
Love
Donna

We would like to express our condolences on the passing of an uncle where smiles and laughs were always on the agenda. He will be missed, not with a tear, but for always with a smile.

Dear Grace, Graydon, Gail and all of the McArthur family, we were very sad to hear of your loss and offer our deepest sympathies. We are thinking of you at this time of sorrow.

Graydon and the entire McArthur Family
We are very sorry to hear about the passing of Mr. McArthur. Mr. McArthur was a very loving and devoted husband to your mom and a great father, grandfather and now great-grandfather. He was always proud to be able to march into the Princess gates on Warriors Day at the CNE and then with the Vets in Bolton on Remeberance Day November 11, the 11th month, 11th day and 11th hour. It was an honour to have known such a great man. Our prayers and thoughts are with you are this very difficult time.
Lloyd & Tami McArthur
We wish to express our sincere condolence to all our cousins and especially Aunt Grace. We hold you close in thought and heart.
The 3 Stooges or should we say McArthur boys, now joined in Heaven, are sure to be up to antics of old. Always with a hug, smile and story.
Love,
Lloyd & Tami
BILL WHITBREAD
To the McArthur Family
“Red Cap” was a much loved man on the Bolton sports scene for more than 50 years. He took great joy in watching and umpiring softball games at Ted Houston Park. His stories at the ‘BS’ table at Bolton Legion still stand the annuls of time. Don was one of a kind. I’ll tip my glass to his memory. It was a joy to see him watching Glen’s boys on the baseball fields and see him beaming with pride as they play the sport he dearly loved.

Doris Porter
To the McArthur family:
I remember you when we lived out in front of the subdivision on Hwy 50. I think my daughter Karen was in Graydon’s class at Ellwood School when it first opened.
From all the Porter family our sincere sympathy. Don will surely be missed.
