I have wonderful memoires of Arild and Ingrid having such great fun with my parents, Helga and Einar. We enjoyed the camping trips and parties at home. Mostly fun times and some sad! They are now happy again after their re-union in heaven. Randi (Johnsen) Jacobs Edmonds WA

Arild was one of the greatest friends I have ever had.
We spent many hours together, voluntiering at Norway Park.
He was my electrical mentor , helping as #25 was being built.
A kind and gentle man will be missed.
May Peace be with you. Ron Ross
