"He will be forever missed, but he will always be carried in our hearts.

"Arthur will be missed beyond words and cherished always."

"We extend our deepest sympathies and support as they navigate through this difficult time."

He appealed to anyone with information, including CCTV or dashcam footage, to get in touch.
