To the Hobbs family, so very sorry to hear of the passing of Arley. Bob spoke lots about Arley and the Hobbs family in general. Certainly lots of good stories were shared of times with the Hobbs family. Truly a kind soul, that was always interested in the goings on of those around him. Arley will be missed but the lively stories will never stop being shared by those whom knew him and loved his spirit for life.
Lots of love to you all
Phyllis

I would just like to say sorry for the loss of Arley within the family. He was always so kind to me growing up, approchable, easy to chat with, and I think many would agree that life was just more fun when you were beside him. He always knew my birthday and was always just generally interested to others and their wellbeing.

Thinking of you guys today.

My heart goes out to you all, Arley was a very important part of my growing up years hanging out at the Gulf station in Deloraine. Many memories shared of laughter with the gang and their spouses. There is on heck of a staff meeting in the back room happening with Don Adam’s, Norm Kirkwood, Vera Maxwell, Lorne Sando, my dad Murray Potter and Arley!
