  7. Dear McArthur Family,
    We are truly saddened by the loss of this great man. The world was truly a better place with him having been in it. I can honestly say that I have never seen him with out a smile on his face. And he in turn brought smiles and laughs to us all. To have had the chance to know him was a great honor. Take comfort in knowing that he is watching over all of you and that families are together forever.

    We love you all,
    Milo & Bryanna Nelson

  9. To the McArthur clan,
    I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Ted was truly an amazing person. Like many others, I don't recall a time when he wasn't laughing, smiling, or teasing someone. May the Lord bless you all at this time.

  12. I have loved the McArthur family as my own for as long as I can remember. The time spent with all of you has truly been a blessing in my life. Ted is proud of every one of you and he will continue to watch over you as the years go by - only now he will be able to watch everyone at once! I love you, McArthurs, and I love you, Ted!

  15. All day my mind has been full of wonderful memories of you all and your Dad. The Lake Havasu days, camping at Oceanside Harbor and many more. He was always so loving and kind, not to mention just plain fun to be around. Even though it has been a while since I've seen him, it is hard to picture this life without Ted here. I'm truly sorry for your loss. Our prayers and best wishes will be with you. Love,

  16. Sounds like the McArthur family; loving, caring, sharing and making sweet memories in spite of the heartache you feel inside. I am sure Ted's sweet spirit is right there with you. His legend will live on and on from what I hear and read. Continue to hold on tight to each other as you continue to relive many old memories of this sweet man. Much love and God's blessings, the Zorads
