He married in 1948 and was the devoted husband and soul mate to Joan for 73 wonderful years. Arthur immigrated from Southampton, England to Canada on the Queen Mary in 1954 with his wife Joan. They settled in Toronto to start a family and a new life. He was the loving father of 4 children: Sylvia, Barbara (Ted), Vincent (Louise), Joy (Dave), and father -in-law to Mike (Sharon); proud grandfather of Michelle (Mike), Shannon (Kam), Devon (Bryan), Greg (Ashlyn), Brittany, Paige, Jessica, Brandon (Jen) and Ryan; and great-grandfather to Jackson, Nixon, Baker and Maclean. Predeceased by parents Frank and Millie Elgar; siblings Frank, Jack, Fred, Henry, Florence, Millie and Joyce; and beloved daughter Sylvia. He was a WWII Veteran, having served with the Royal Scots and landed in Normandy, France on D-Day. In 2016 he was presented with the rank of Knight of the French National Order of the Legion of Honour (this is the highest national order of France, awarded by the French President). This distinction is an expression of profound gratitude for personal involvement in the liberation of France during WWII. There is a saying that the greatest gift a man can give to his children is to love their Mother, and that he did. He referred to his beloved wife as "his sweetheart", and there was nowhere he would have rather been then holding her hand. Arthur loved babies, children and animals and "keeping an eye on the neighbourhood". He has a great sense of humour, and his laugh alone would bring joy to those who heard it. He will be missed every day, and fondly remembered by all who knew him. He had a wonderful life and took great pride in his family. Joan will love and miss him forever, until they can be together again with God. We would like to thank the PSW's (Sheena, Olondo, Isaac and Amanda) for the care, comfort and devotion they showed not only to Arthur, but to the entire family. Our words can never express our true gratitude. Visitation was held at NORTHCUTT ELLIOTT FUNERAL HOME, 53 Division St. N.
