This is James, Arthur's son, writing on behalf of the Burns family. In the early hours of Tuesday morning, Arthur died peacefully in his sleep, at home, with his loved ones close by. He had been ill for the past three years, but faced his cancer with enormous courage and stoicism

Until the last few days he had been active and mobile. He never waned in his intelligence and kindness towards others. In the coming week(s) we will post charities to which you may donate in memory of Arthur. 2/3
