Arthur B North's Obituary
Our beloved “Captain” has finally joined the love of his life in eternity. He was a man who served his country well and was proud of his service through 3 wars: World War II, The Korean War and Vietnam. He had hundreds of stories and anyone who knows him has heard many of them.
He had a great love for his family and extended family. His greatest passion was flying airplanes and riding motorcycles. He was an outdoors guy who loved boating, camping and being on the water.
Arthur was preceded by his beloved wife Caridad. He is survived by his son Arturo North and wife Nyra. His daughter Aleida Richards and husband Wayne. Grandsons, Ryan (Melanie) and Chris (Hunter) North. Granddaughters, Amanda (Frank) Arroyo and Mindy Richards. Great grandchildren, Aria, LaylaBelle, and Brea Arroyo, and Harper and Hadley North.
There will be a small private service for immediate family only, at the gravesite, at Bay Pines National Cemetery. which will be determined at a later date. The family will be receiving guests at the home of Aleida Richards (3206 W. Nassau St, Tampa, Fl 33607) following the service and throughout the evening.
