Arthur J. Schmitt, Jr.

Our beloved friend Arthur brought so much joy and love into our lives, especially on Sunday, when he and Lorraine shared dinner with us.
He was my favorite traveling companion – I was always “ChaChaCha”. Arthur never realized the life lessons he taught all of us – we learned to be more empathetic to those around us, to be grateful for the blessing of good health and to live every day to the fullest! We were so lucky to have been a part of his life – his sweet soul will truly be missed❤️

Arthur was such a joy to so many. We loved him dearly. We keep his family in our thoughts and prayers.

I had the honor of getting to know Arthur and his extraordinary mother over recent years. He was the sweetest and most loving soul I have met, so gentle and kind. And the bond of love and trust he had with his mother was beyond compare. Lorraine, you are an extraordinary mother, fulfilling your role not only as a devout mother, but as Arthur’s advocate, voice, and unending source of strength. You did beyond what any mother could ever do – you were there for him throughout his life and made sure he had someone to rely on every step of the way. He was a lucky young man to have you in this life, and now to have his father guide him into the next chapter in heaven, where he is unencumbered by any handicap and full of unending joy and peace. My prayers and thoughts are with you Lorraine, as well as your entire family, but rest assured – you did your job successful successfully on this earth for him, as you’ve done for the rest of your family,,and now you can be at peace knowing that Arthur Senior and Arthur Junior are happy and together. Both will be your guides and advocates from heaven above as you continue your life’s journey. All my love and prayers are with you and your family always.
