My sympathies to his daughter, son, grandchildren, and brother. Being close to his age, I knew him all of my life. He was a good and gentle man whom I know loved camping, fishing, and hunting with Dennis and Robbie. I will certainly miss him as he was always kind to me. I’m sorry that I can’t be there to support my family as I currently live in Alabama. I will be with all of you in spirit and you are in my prayers. Love, Cousin Linda

Sorry to hear about “Bobby” . Although I had not seen him for many, many years, we sort of grew up together (I am the same age as Arnold) Arnold had E-Mailed about Bob, but I did not get the notice until today from a friend in North Carolina, hence the late message. All my best to the family
