Dear Kevin & Lisa, so good to talk to you both even tho the news was not good. Such a good man but we all know that. I'll never forget the wonderful stories he use to tell at our family reunions every summer at Grams. He made us all laugh so hard. Those are the memories we'll remember and relive when we're missing him. He is in a better place, pain-free but we'll still miss him terribly. love Uncle Dick Aunt Maxine

Arn was a good friend as well as a great customer when my former company, Watts Multi Services, sold to Delmar Twp. The citizens of Delmar Twp were lucky to have had a person of his quality as their Supervisor. My deepest sympathy to Arn's family and friends. He will be missed.
