The pair met one another informally at a dance one night. Arthur asked to see her again, and on their second date, he proposed to her.
They had been married for 49 years since those very first days together.
Arthur passed away in 2002 and, Una, in 2020.
They are both very missed.
This pin signifies over thirty years of volunteer work at the Lakeshore General Hospital. She treasured it.
Arthur arrived with very little, still he persevered and later founded a contracting company which has grown to be quite reputable.
For the past few decades, the company has been managed by their youngest son, Micheal.
