Arnie - you will be greatly missed both by my father and my boys. They loved coming to visit "Uncle Arnie" and his pond with my Dad time and time again. Not only did they get some fishing in, but occasionally a little skinny dipping. My Dad valued you as his best friend, confidant and father figure and I know you have left a large hole in his heart. Peace be with you, Rayenell. God's grace is looking in on you and yours.##imported-begin##Jennifer (Nelson) Rayman##imported-end##
Raynelle, Andrea & Family, I also came to know Arnold & Rayenell through working with Andrea. He would always call and ask for "Insurance" with his own special twang! He always made me laugh and smile. Take comfort in knowing that he is now in a better place than we are. I remember someone sending a "clip" to the Readers Digest about getting a speeding ticket and the officer signed it "A Friend." What a sense of humor! HONOR his beautiful memory, CELEBRATE an amusing (if onery at times)spirit, REMEMBER his wonderful life! May God bless you all in your sorrow and may God keep you in His watch-care. I ran across this quote a while back. "You don't get to chose how you're going to die or when. You can only decide how you're going to live."~Joan Baez. Words of wisdom for us all. You have our deepest sympathy.##imported-begin##Randy & Connie Vaughn##imported-end##

Dear Topsy,
We are so sorry for your loss and send our condolences.##imported-begin##Joe & Sandy Daugherty and Bonnie Huff##imported-end##
I worked with Arnold's sister, Andrea,
for many years. Through her I knew
Arnold and respected the larger than
life person that he was. I will never
forget Andrea telling me about him
getting in trouble for signing his tickets, "A Friend." We are so sorry
for your loss...

Dearest Arnold, at last you are at peace and feel no pain. At last you can laugh, be with those you loved who went before you.At last there are no more dark times, only bright, sunlit days forever. I have always loved you and will always love you until my days on earth are through. I KNOW that we will be together again. "R"##imported-begin##Rayenell##imported-end##
I can't think of anyone who could come close to Arnold's story telling except maybe my Dad. It may have been a bit colorful at times. Most of the time actually. I will never forget. Our thoughts are with you all.##imported-begin##Linda Barton Reynolds##imported-end##
