I just learned of John's death yesterday, As I ate at the Waller Ave. location.. I had spoke with him about a month ago.. And had been keeping him in my Prayers, As he had express to me his concern of being Ill... I would stop in to eat at Hamburg about every other month or so.. John and I would talk business, politics and Religion, I will miss his wisdom and his heart, as he was a blessing to me... I always looked forward to a new picture of his grandson, and hearing him brag on his family... I wish for all who knew and Loved him peace.. God's peace that surpasses all of our understanding, and reasoning... My Prayers, My Love go out to all...

In Christ's Love,

Matt & Family,

My thoughts and prayers are with you during this very difficult time. I know Lindsay always spoke very highly and fondly of Mr. Arnold and Terry. The many visits she made with Matt to visit them, I know will be cherished forever. I know you will miss him, but he is in a far better place now. He will live in your hearts forever and someday you will be reunited with him.

I spent a few summers with Mr. Arnold. Not only was he a loving husband to Terry, he adored his two son's, Christopher and Matt. Spending time with them meant the most to him along with watching them grow into the succesful young men they have become. Christopher and Matt, I know your father is so proud of you. He will always live in your hearts and I will cherish the memories we made with him.
