Annie & Betty - Just received notice of Arnold's death. He lived a good life and brought lots of joy to many people.  I loved to hear his stories about the war...... I feel blessed to have know him. Larry & I graduated together and he was a great friend.

Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you as you mourn Arnold's loss. Arnold was always a great supporter of his community and did his best to make us a little prouder of our town. I am so glad he kept the train station in Prospect. Let it be a daily reminder of all he cared about.

My Deepest Sympathy to all of the family. I will probably not make it to calling hours this evening as I am scheduled to help staff the newly opened Community Youth Center. I am sure this would have been a project that would have been heartily supported by Arnold. I will serve in his honor tonight and remember his many contributions to the village of Prospect.
