Arthur JamesSMALLWe are sad to announce the passing of ARTHUR SMALL on 18th April. Arthur was 96 and enjoyed a full and varied life having moved to Coventry just before WW2 from his beloved Rhondda Valley, Wales. The son of Ted and Flo, husband for a remarkable 75 years to Betty, who sadly passed only a couple of months ago. A brother to the (late) Bill and Anne who has supported him relentlessly during his autumn years. A father to Robert and Ian with whom he shared his love of rugby and football respectively. A proud Granddad to James, Ellen and Rhys and lately a Great Granddad to Isla, Arthur and Amara. Arthur is a well-known personality due to his endless community work for pensioner groups just after the war and then as a union official at the Alvis and a Stalwart organiser and Manager of Little Heath F.C. during the 70's and 80's. He was a season ticket holder at his beloved Sky Blues which 4 generations attended regularly and latterly watched WASPs with his son Rob. Arthur passed peacefully and will be fondly remembered by many. His funeral will be at Canley Crematorium, Coventry on Thursday May 18th at 2:30pm in the Charter Chapel. With a farewell at the Gas workers Club, Foleshill Road (close to New Inn Bridge) from 3:45pm onwards.
