I'm still in shock at the news of Arnie leaving this world.  Whenever I would see him walking over for a coffee, beer or simply to chat, it always made me feel good having his presence nearby.  Regardless of our conversations, he would always take a moment to proudly speak about his kids or to express his heartfelt concerns for his loving wife.

Arnie's selfless acts to all that touched his life was undoubtedly one of his greatest qualities.  Not only for Leslie and I but any neighbor could confidently leave home for extended periods knowing he was "Holding the Fort" until our return.

I will miss you my friend.
