    Arnie was a year behind me on high school.
    As kids, we would always play a pick up game of football at stink hill.
    He was such a big kid, we were all afraid to tackle him when he had the ball. So we would all hope he would be on our side!
    He was a good guy and my sympathies to his family.

    Cory & Family: Arnie was such a special guy. He was one person who could brighten anyone’s day. He will be greatly missed. Thinking of you all during this difficult time.

    So sad to hear of my cousin Bay-Arnold’s passing. Our thoughts are with the family at this difficult time.

    Dave, Swede, Cory, Jamie:

    Almost 60 years of wonderful memories with your family. We miss all those who have passed on. Arnold, Eleanor, Darn, and Sally and Jan. We pray that you will draw closer as a family and remain that way. Family and friends are special gifts. We are praying for you all from Missouri. Love—Denny and Lee Deneau

    Arnie and I were classmates. We had such a good time at our last class reunion and I really enjoyed reminiscing with him. I am sending all of his family my heartfelt condolences.
