Obituaries

To The Rapp Family: I am sorry to hear of the loss of your loved one, please accept my condolences. Losing a loved one is such a painful experience and as much as it hurts, please be assured of God's love. When the time is right, look into the promises left behind for us through God's Living Word the Bible. Find comfort at Revelation 21:4; John 5:28,29 and Psalm 37:9-11,29 and know that these blessings will take place on earth. We hold these truths dear to our hearts because we know God can do all things but he "cannot lie." (Titus 1:2)

I would see Arthur on a regular basis either at the Fulton YMCA or Harris Teeter. Arthur was just the kindest man with such a great disposition. Arthur was much loved at the YMCA and his energy and outlook was an inspiration to everyone. Saw him on the Saturday and I will miss him sorely. His spirit lives on. Peter

What I loved most about Art was his quite positive nature, kindness towards others and he never met a stranger. What a blessing it was to have him touch our lifes!

Carolyn, Your father seemed like a great man, I am so sorry for your loss. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Love, Margaret

Your dad sounds like a wonderful man who left a lasting legacy of love and kindness.

My sympathy to the family on the loss of a great Dad. I have always enjoyed talking with Art. I have really appreciated his help with my Dad as he was passing and his support of my Mom as she ages. Our families have been intertwined for years - not only by proximity but through Mom's kindergarden. May God bless Art for his worthy life - George Bryan (I am sorry that I will be out of town for the service and meal)
