My thoughts are with Arne's family. I worked with Arne at Puget Power from 1968 until his retirement. I remember his calm and quiet manner which I greatly admired. He will truly be missed.

My condolences to Ilo and family. Arne was a very special person. I worked with Arne for those last years before he retired from Puget Power. He was a teacher, a co-worker and a friend. I think about him often. I will never forget him.

Arnie and I were friends for many years and especially close the last ten. I will miss our daily phone conversations and many trips to the casino. His humor, easygoing air and wisdom was like a magnet. He was what a best friend is all about. i will miss him every day. God bless you, Arnie.
