Aarne E. Oksa

Its been a year Aarne. I miss you so much. I love you forever. I hope you're resting easy.

Thoughts are with you and family at this time

Oh my dear Aarne, I will miss you forever. I'm so glad I got to know you and become your friend/family. Seeing your smiling face coming down the aisle to the pharmacy was easily the best part of my days. Thank you for all the lessons you taught me and all the memories and stories you shared. I will keep your memory alive forever. Rest in peace my sweet Aarne, I love you.

Arnie, you were one of the most wonderful men I have ever met in my life. I enjoyed all the stories you would tell me about your life and sitting with you outside in the sun and chatting with you. I, as well as many others will miss you so much. You were greatly loved by many. I know that God is holding you in his hands now. God bless all of Arnie's family and friends and may the spirit of God be with you during this difficult time.

Everyone at our CVS looked forward to our daily visits. He talked with us and spoiled us with chocolates. On a personal note, our conversation after my husband passed meant more than he would ever know. I knew that he understood my loss on a level that most didn´t. May his memory be eternal and May his soul rest in peace. I was blessed to have known him.

I met Arne in 1975. I was a brand new elementary school librarian and Arne was an SVE representative. He introduced me to the world of audio visual material and I saw him from time to time until my retirement in 1997. He was a true gentleman and I always was happy to see him. I am so very sorry he is gone from your sight.
