I did not know Arthur Bridges, I do know his daughter Binnie Hill. Since Arthur was a part of the raising of Binnie I know from her actions that he was a wonder human. I know you will miss this caring person. Know that he will live on in the actions of his children, his grandchildren and his great grandchildren.
So sorry for your loss praying for you and your family
