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.

I LOVE your Uncle Arthur stories...how blessed you were to have him in your life! Thank you for sharing him with us!
Excellent post Steve. Sad to say I never met Arthur, but I now feel as if I have!
Brilliant! Arthur sounds like a great bloke.
Excellent tales of a wonderful man. Well done!
