Arnold T. Chonko

Gone way to soon.

Thinking of Arnie on this date and thinking of all he accomplished in his short but fulfilling life. I knew him briefly when I played in the Plain Dealer TRIPLE A LEAGUE for J Schrader and Wenham trucker teams. Teammates in luded Steve Stone, Mike Easler, Steve Huntz,and Jimmy Redmon a teammate at West Tech High and Dick Globakar who beat me out for the batting title the last day of the season in 1971 or 72. I later became G.M. of the CLEVELAND NETS IN World Team Tennis. Players in luded...

To the Arnie Chonko family, I saw the longest home run I ever saw hit at Edgewater park in Cleveland that Arnie hit while I was playing a PD AAA game against his team. RIP Arnie and condolences to the family. Danny Lee Sun City Az.

Art, I am so sorry to hear of your brother's passing. May God bless you all.

I grew up in Arnie's hometown, Athens OH. I had opportunity to be a high school and legion teammate of both Arnie and his brother, Andy. The Chonko family name was synonymous with enjoying and excelling in sports competition. So sorry to hear of Arnie's unexpected passing but very pleased to have known the family.

I'll never forget what an inspirational leader he was during the time I shared with him at Columbia Gas. It seemed he always had a smile on his face--such a positive person! So sad to hear of his passing. Sending my thoughts and prayers to the family. Carol Wintz-Kee

Anne and i are shocked and saddened to hear about this. In his HR leadership role at Columbia gas, Arnie helped thousands of people.Our thoughts and prayers to Nancy and Arnie's beautiful family! Jack and Anne Partridge.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time of your loss.
