Arthur Herbert Saunders (10 Aug 1939 - 30 Apr 2022)

Er cof am ffrind annwyl i'n teulu ni - Heledd-Ann, Catrin a Mabli, a'n rhieni Eric a Gaenor.

Thank you to all that came yesterday, waiting patiently in that heat for Dad to arrive. His timekeeping I’m life wasn’t the best, so it was fitting and rather comic that he would be late one last time

I believe that the funeral directors were able to extend the web feed - the service should be back online within the next few days to watch again, for those that were unable to.

We have been truly humbled by your kind messages here, thoughtful sympathy cards and generous donations to St Catherine’s Hospice. Darren, Megan and myself send our gratitude and thanks.

With love and best wishes

Thinking of you at this sad time. Arthur was one of life's gentlemen and will be missed by so many people.

Arthur you may be gone ,but will never be forgotten. A much loved husband,father,grandfather, brother, cousin and last but not least you were our last "tie" with the Rhondda Fach.

It is with great sadness that we cannot be in Glyntaf today, but you will be foremost in our thoughts as always.

RIP, you will be sorely missed, Nos Da, Graham, Enid, Rhys and Robert

Arthur was and I feel still is a most valued friend.

Thanks to the hospice for taking care of my Uncle in his final days.

My commiseration for the passing of a cherished and beloved uncle, he will be missed. He was a caring, loving and helpful uncle throughout my life and was so interested in the lives of others. May his soul RIP my dear Uncle.

I met Arthur when I first came to Wales to live in 1979, He and Marion were really welcoming and gave me an excellent impression of people who were authentic, caring, cultured and interested in the wider world. They became our daughter's Godparents. Arthur was an outstanding individual, with huge integrity, always seeing the best in people and in difficult situations. He will be really missed. Roedd Arthur yn gyfaill arbennig I ni fel teulu ac yn gydweithiwr fel athro yn Ysgol Gyfun Rhydfelen. Bu ef a Marion yn gefnogol iawn I mi yn ystod problemau afiechyd. R.I.P.

Arthur ni wedi bod yn lwcus cwrdd a chi 😘

It was always a joy to receive one of his beautifully written letters, the Welsh calibrated so a learner like me could understand. A life well lived.

Arthur will be fondly remembered by Trealaw Friends Meeting and South Wales Quakers. Yn meddwl amdanoch gyda chydymdeimlad.

Trealaw Quaker Meeting owes Arthur a debt of gratitude for his long and faithful service to the Meeting. He served our Meeting in many roles over the years and was especially faithful in attending to needs of older members, even as he was advancing in years! His gentle, thoughtful and accepting attitude to all exemplified George Fox's words: 'Be patterns, be examples in all countries, places, islands, nations, wherever you come, that your carriage and life may preach among all sorts of people, and to them; then you will come to walk cheerfully over the world, answering that of God in everyone.'
Arthur will be much missed by us all.
