Memories and Condolences
for Arnold Camire
July 2, 2013
Baby Arnold, Mark, Cherie and Joan
Roland and I are so very happy that we finally made it to the funeral. We both really knew Arnold a long time. I remember playing in the field behind the house on Alfred St. in Biddeford. We were all so carefree. Life goes by so fast.
I know Roland enjoyed talking to Arnold the many times they talked these past few months, and when they both had the bi-pass surgery talks.
It was so nice of Joan and Arnold to come up to Maine and help with Adam's Congressional bid a few years ago.
Eventhough Arnold moved away from Maine, he never forgot us and his heritage.
Roland and I really want to express to you how very sorry we are for the loss that you are now feeling. It will get better, but as you know, it will never go away.
Roland and I were very impressed with all of you. Your mother and father did a great job, and as we have seen, you are also doing a great job with your children
A few years ago Arnold called me to ask about a family eduational situation. We talked at great length. It was evident that he was very concerned. He wanted the best for his children and grandchildren
Roland and are so appreciative of the time we spent with you at the restaurant.Please feel to come and see us at anytime. We would love to see you.
I want to tell you that this is true. The ride back to Maine was very long and very tiring. I drove. Roland does not like to drive in trafiic. Anyway I was almost home,, I looked up and so help me this is true..The street sign in front of me said "Arnold Rd", Now how common is the name Arnold..not here anyway. I drive that road quite frequently. I have never looked up to read a sign. There it was. I had the funniest feeling in my stomach. The road is really there. I went back to find it the next day. I wanted to make sure that I was not dreaming or that I was just tired. It is there. So,I do not know what that means, but....
Once again Roland and I were so happy we went to Conn.God bless all of you.Baby Arnold, Cherie, Mark and Joan. And as I often do in Biddeford, I drive by the Alfred Street house, I remember those carefree days. I will remember my cousin Baby Arnold with a heavy heart. I know however that he is at peace, and that will put a smile on my face as I remember those carefree days with family all around!!!
Thinking of you all!!

Dear Arnold,Mark, and Cherie, May you be comforted at this difficult time of loss. When both your parents are gone there is an ache and loss in your heart that never goes away, but now the three of you as siblings have each other to carry on being a support for each other. I loved having Arnold as my older cousin and it was so fun having such a big group of cousins to belong to. The Camire family connections are still alive and well. Take care. Becky Hagen

Myself, and brothers Dave and Dan want to express our condolences to Arnold's immediate family and friends. We are first cousins. Recently, I had several lengthy and wonderful conversations with him and we talked about growing up in Maine and our 22 cousins. These conversations were uplifting for me. Arnold had a way of making you feel good in spite of his situation. I know he was at peace with himself. God Bless.
