Claire, Gary, Gayle, Eric & Grandchildren: We know your hearts are heavy today, and so are ours, because our loss is so great. Art was a wonderful husband, father, friend, and brother-in-law who dearly loved his family. He was such a kind, gentle man who was always ready to help someone in any way he could, was a wealth of information who could talk with anyone on a diverse number of topics, and his laid-back, unsurpassed wit would have everyone in hysterical laughter at the most unexpected moments. We are so thankful to have had him a part of our lives for so many years. He will be sorely missed. Praying that God will ease your pain & comfort you in the days ahead as only He can with such a loss. Love you much, Pauline & Nick

Arthur John was the brother I did not have. I echo the many wonderful statements made about him throughout this obituary website. I was privileged to share in and witness most of what has been expressed; Arthur was truly an exceptional man. Rest in peace my brother~

His humor was so enjoyable and his vast knowledge of the world around him was amazing. I always treasured my conversations with him and so grateful to have known him all these years and to have known Claire since we were “kids”. Arthur, rest in peace my friend.

Arthur Constantine (My Papa) is a person no one could replace. He was a great Papa, and was very artistic. I loved him very much. I think about him a lot. He is the most intelligent person I can think of. My Memere (Claire) had always told me, “He is very intelligent because he reads all the books he can get his hands on. And if he doesn’t know something, He would look it up in a book and memorize it.” And that is was he really did. I love him. And I will never forget him.
