My cousin Arnold will always hold a special place in my heart. Many wonderful memories come to mind. Our August visit from Long Island was sad as we all knew it would be our last time together. His family made the day precious. We love you all and our thoughts and prayers are with you even though we are unable to make the journey to see you now.
Love, Flo and Conrad

My family and I owe so much to the Nauman family. They have blessed us in so many ways. We regret the passing of Arnold, but we know he's with the Lord. Our prayers go to Pat and all the kids, God bless you all,

I met Arnold and his wife Patricia only a couple of times, but I found him to be thoroughly engaging and loved the twinkle in his eye that can be seen in the accompanying photograph.

Having worked with two of his daughters, Mary and Carol, there is no doubt what a loving man and outstanding parent he was - it shows in his children's lives as well. I know his absence will be felt not only in his family, but in his church and in his community.
