Ellen – Ed and I have such a soft spot in our hearts for you, Arnie, Brittney and Arnell. Catching up with you guys at the cottage has always been one of the highlights of our summers since you moved to Fenwick. And Ed will miss the annual ritual of him and Arnie taking the girls out for an afternoon ride on the motorbikes. We are so going to miss Arnie’s smile, booming laugh and one-of-a-kind personality. Hugs, Ed and Audrey

So sorry to hear of the loss of Arnold. You left many memories behind especially while visiting and working on our farm. We often reminisce to this day. Hope you find our Dad up there and you guys can talk about the good old times.You are all remembered in our prayers.
So sad to hear of Arnold’s passing. I have not seen you a lot lately. Last time was in October and you gave me some good advice. Now that you have passed on your advice means so much more to me. See you on the other side Arnold. Guess God wanted you more than we did. May god strengthen your family in the days ahead.
