Such a kind man. He always had time for a chat at the lifeboat shop. Thinking of you all.

A tribute to Arthur
Dad was born in Saltmarne in 1942, in the house on Quay Lane where his father mended nets. Apart from two years of National Service, he never really left, and he never wanted to.
He worked on the ferries for thirty-one years and knew every tide on this stretch of coast. He met Mum at the Harbour Hall dance in 1963. They were married for fifty-four years, and he never stopped bringing her flowers on a Friday.
In retirement he volunteered with the lifeboat shop, grew far too many runner beans, and taught all three grandchildren to fish off the end of the pier. He will be missed more than we can say.

Arthur taught me to tie my first knot on the ferry when I was eleven. Rest well, sir.
