I remember Dr. Arneman often and fondly! My life is so much richer and meaningful from having been his resident for 3 years. I was blessed that I was able to learn from him.

Dr. Arneman was my mentor, teacher and friend.
Truly my life and professional course were molded by his knowledge, great common sense, and artful practice of medicine
His values of life and compassion enhanced with a wonderful sense of humor. My patients in Iowa benefited greatly from me being a resident under him.
The world is not as bright a place with him gone!!

Dana and my father Roy Slick were internal medicine residents together at the Kansas City College of Osteopathic Medicine. I remember, as a high school student, Dana and Jill visiting our home many times and remember him as a wonderful person and physician. Jill may remember that at their wedding I escorted his mother to her seat at the church wedding. My father spoke very highly of Dana on many, many occasions and how great a physician he was. They were great friends. Dana will be remembered by the Kansas City residency program as one of the first and outstanding internal medicine residents. My deepest sympathy to Jill and the family.
