Truly one of God's finest servants to his fellow man. Mr. Arabie always exhibited the traits of a man sent here by God to lead by example. He wasn't my Principal, as so many of you recall him as, but I was fortunate enough to work with him while on the School board. He reminded me so much of my Grandfather, Mr. Roux, whom Milton knew well. He was a true servant, a true Patriot and he was always a believer in public schools with so much love for his school, Central Lafourche.

The Sarre family Spent so many years growing up next to your family. I will always remember the family with the kids names all starting with M's. I am so happy that the neighbors with the M names were lucky enough to have their father around for so many years. I hope you find peace and happiness and bless your father and each and every one of you. So sorry for your loss.

Milton was one of God's kids who touched my life over time in a deeply spiritual way. He was a confidant of mine and his wisdom was a blessing to me. He has heard the words "Well done good and faithful servant". My love to Peggy and all the family.
