Goodbye Arthur Erickson

It is with a very heavy heart that I say goodbye to Arthur Erickson, who passed away yesterday. Over the past 10 years i was fortunate enough to get to know him a little bit & I grew to both admire & love him for his warmth, his honesty, and his kindness.
Arthur, I will miss your elegant soul & think of you often. When I see our mutual friends or am graced to be in any of the spaces you designed, or whenever I see the wet concrete sparkle when the sunlight comes out. I loved talking flowers with you...
WaterLilies...
You inspired me & always made me feel good.

Thanks.
