Dodsworth, Layton “Arthur” – The passing of Layton Arthur “Art” Dodsworth, age 73, occurred on October 26, 2017 in Colchester East Hants Health Centre, Truro. A son of the late Layton and Bessie Dodsworth, Art grew up on the family farm working alongside his father.
Art then went to work for Annand Steel, Atmus Equipment as foreman of the Dartmouth branch, and spent 18 years as service manager for Clem MacDonald at Central Equipment.
