Condolences & Memories (8 entries)

  • I met Arthur when I started work at Premier Printing in 2007. He was always kind, patient, and a wonderful source of information. He was so proud of his family. He loved to show his woodworking skills and always had something on the go. We had a lot of laughs and joked a lot. My last visit with him was very special. Even though he wasn't feeling well, he was still so proud to show his home, his family - his life. This was a good, good man who was taken far too soon. My sincere condolences to Sharon and his entire family. - Posted by: Rachelle Painchaud-Nash (Previous Co-Worker) on: Mar 16, 2026

  • I’m very shocked and deeply saddened to hear of Arthur’s passing. I first started my graphic design career with TC4 graphics. Arthur and Jan took me under their wing. Arthur was a great mentor, sharing his industry knowledge and tips and tricks that allowed me to flourish in this industry. I would run into him from time to time at Premier printing. He was gifted craftsman making beautiful woodworking projects. His laughter and huge smile was infectious. We would rock out to one of his favourite bands… Boston. Wishing his beautiful family my deepest condolences during this difficult time. You’re in good hands now my friend. - Posted by: Brent Polson (TC4 coworker) on: Mar 14, 2026

  • I grew up down the street from the Teitsma family and was lucky enough to run into Arthur periodically over the years. Both at East End arena or while he was riding his bike in the old neighborhood and we caught up on our families and I enjoyed hearing about his lovely family. So sorry for your families loss. A good man gone way too soon. - Posted by: Mary Beazley (Elementary & high school classmate) on: Mar 14, 2026

  • May the Lord comfort and give strength to the family. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. 8 Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing. 2 Timothy 4:7-8 - Posted by: Frances Wray nee Tiggelaar (Friend) on: Mar 14, 2026
