    Dear Rose and Family
    Please accept our deepest sympathy at your loss of a husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, uncle and friend. We always enjoyed our hard working, friendly, humorous neighbor. Although we did not see him often, whenever we met him on the street, at a social function, at the church supper, he always had a smile or a grin on his face, always had something witty to say and always enjoyed his meals. He will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with his whole family. What a wonderful legacy he has! God Bless.

    Rose, and family,, our hearts go out to you all, during this difficult time. I know how hard it was to have to see Arnie go into a home, even though that choice was taken right out of your hands. Even knowing it was the best move for him, I really do understand how incredibly hard that was for you all. We went through the same thing with my own parents. Arnie was such a funny man, he was so full of quips, and humor. He loved to sing those silly songs, he would be grinning from ear to ear while he was belting out the tunes. lol. I know he is going to be missed, my heart goes out to each and every one of one at this time…

    Please accept our sincere condolences. Arnold was a wonderful person and he will be sorely missed.
