Arthur Frank Blundell (3 Mar 1952 - 9 Mar 2020)

OH

I am so sorry to learn so late that Art has passed on

Art and I were very close many years ago but business got between us - always
something I regreted but we had so many good times together

When I started work at MAT Art was the one who showed me the ropes etc always called the posh kid from Chigwell but was so proud of his East London rootes and of course West Ham

I was and still am a Spurs boy but it never devided us in our friendship

This may be a bit out of order but when Art got married for the first time he phoned in a panic - his best man had gone missing a few hours before the service and he asked me if I could step up

I did the best I could and think it worked

Anyway dear Art no doubt you will be causing some sort of commotion wherever you are but I still remember these famous words

AND DAVID IS GOING TO BE FOOTBALLER - yes I was but that is another story

Rest in peace old mate we will catch up soon

They broke the mould when they made you Art, truly one of a kind. What we once enjoyed and deeply loved we can never lose, for all that we love deeply becomes part of us. Gone but never forgotten xXx

Art, I will always remember you, you are always showing me the great things in life, always believed in me, always made me laugh and always made me feel strong in my future. Art will be missed and i will never forget everything that he said to me, Art was a funny and great person, he always make everyone laugh, and when he talks serious, he always shown me that my future will be bright, and he never stop believing in me and i can never thank him enough for that. I will always count Art and sue as family to my life, both of them is a pair and neither both of them stopped believing in me, i promise i will start cooking with sue more in the future to learn from the best cooks in the world. Gonna miss you Art, From Luke Krzeneski

Art I cherish the fact that I had a chance to get to know you. It may have taken me a little while to get used to your very unique humour and ways of talking, but then I believe that was the case for most LOL. But what I loved was how I saw your heart and warmth inside shine through so much in regards to those you loved and cared for. You literally would do anything for them or us, or me. You were a true diamond one that will forever be in my heart and my memories of the times we shared I will definitely cherish forever. Plus Art don't you worry we will make sure Sue is looked after as promised she is such a beautiful person and we knew how much you loved and adored her. I am sure you are wrapping your arms around her from above every second of every day. Love you always from Lou xx

A little message for Art

Au revoir for now dear Art
You left just before the lock down
I am sure you are having a good laugh from above
As you can see, we have become a ghost town

You found your partner in crime, Sue
And lived a life full of banter and laughter
Your earthly soul will rest in eternal peace
But your mischievous spirit will live for ever after

May you bring laughter, joy and banter wherever you are Art. x
