Dec 15, 1927 - Sept 22, 2012
Went to be with his Lord and Savior. Reunited with his wife Florence. "Absent with the body present with Lord" 2 Corinthians 5; 6-8. Christ Jesus was the focus of his life. Arthur served faithfully and displayed Christian graces which will always bless those who knew Arthur. Arthur was known to many as Papa, and could always tell a little story or riddle to make everyone chuckle, young and old alike.
Arthur is survived by his three sons, Michael and wife Kelly Burke, Robert and wife Mary Burke, and William and wife Denise Dearnley. He is also survived by grandchildren Kim, Brian, Sean, Katelynn, Joshua, and Danielle as well as some great grandchildren (by virtue of their jobs) who served as gate keepers over Papa; Eli, Dylan, Zachary, Layla, and Eric. Over the past two years Arthur has also had a special place in the hearts of his caregivers, many who also lovingly referred to him as Papa.
A celebration service is to be held Saturday the 29th day of September at 1:00 pm at Center Barnstead Christian Church. A reception will follow at the Dearnley residence in Alton, NH
