Arthur E. Scofield April 29, 1914 - December 8, 2010

A man of a simpler time. Husband and father, and provider. A working man, persistent, strong, humble and proud. He lived with a satisfied mind.

Tried new things, and valued the old. Skeptical of the institutions of mankind, his values were often unspoken: simplicity, economy, and sincerity. Drawn to the majesty of nature. A hunter, solely for the privilege to observe.

He maintained a sense of pace and rhythm in living. Playing music each day in 3/4 time. Valued the art of handwriting. He was both behind and ahead of his time. A witness to the dawn of the horseless carriage.

A man who lived until the day he died.
