James McArthur Purvis
Purvis, James (“Buck”) McArthur, 67, of Groveland, Fl. passed away Monday, February 22, 2010 at his residence. He was born on June 28, 1942 in Helena, Georgia. He was of the Christian faith and has lived here in Groveland for over 50 years. Buck was a man of humble beginnings who by God’s grace rose to be his wives lover, best friend and confident. He was his children’s hero and who knows what all he meant to others. Buck was not only always willing to help any and everyone but also skilled in so many ways that he was able to do so. His family was his world and his wife remembers that even when they were dating his younger brothers and sisters went along. Once they had children he would say, “If the kids can’t go or can’t see something then we don’t need to go or see it either”. Buck is predeceased by his parents Paul and Bessie Mae Purvis; Brothers Paul, Robert “Bobby”, Milton, and Richard; sisters Vivian, Dinah and Shirley. He is survived by his wife of 46 years Mary M.
