Arthur was a keeper on Chapman Lighthouse off of Canvey Island in Essex. My parents managed a shop on Canvey where the lighthouse keepers bought their provisions. Authur became lifelong friends with my family, living with us for some years!

He was best man at my wedding, the nicest man you could hope to meet.
