Arnold Corpus

Dear Arnold,
Miss you all the time dude. Grateful for all we shared, especially your quiet but strong support through all the phases of life we went through together. No one really made laugh like you could. I wish there'd been more time for you and for us, but I was really lucky to have what there was. Wherever you are I hope you're enjoying great rest, and some really really excellent tunes.
Love Forever,
Armando

Not a day goes by that I am not struck by how important my brother was to me. We were pretty different people, but we had so much fun when we were together. I will always remember him as funny, no-nonsense and almost unfailingly sincere; someone who every day, did his best for his friends and family. I was blessed to have him as my brother I hope he knows how deeply he is missed.

I'd like to express my sincere condolences to his family. I played bass in a band with Arnold back in the 80s. His headbanging and enthusiasm injected a lot of fun into the group. I'll miss him.

I read the poem The Broken Chain, and thought it captured the feelings of the Corpus family. I'm re-wording it to reflect the loss of Arnold.

"They little knew that morning that God was going to call Arnold's name. In life they loved him dearly, in death they do the same.
It broke their hearts to lose Arnold, he did not go alone, for part of them went with him, the day God called him home. Arnold left them peaceful memories, his love is still their guide; and though they...

I lost my dear sister a few months before Arnold, and life has not been the same. Losing someone you love, especially someone who has shared a great part of your life, is losing a big part of who we are. Knowing that you'll never see them or hear them again in this life is very difficult. We have to remember that all of our lives will someday pass on, and that nothing in this life is forever, except love. I know Arnold was loved by his family, and someday you will all be together again. ...

Dear Arnie,
I miss you so much, but I feel that you are always with me. I wish you were here to take Grandma and me to the boats. Love you and miss with all my heart.
Your Niece, Sara

Dear Arnold,
Your mother and all your family and friends remember you and all the joys and love you shared. It was too a short time we had you here. Our loss is a terrible one to overcome. But we take comfort in our memories and our confidence that the kindness, the great humor, and the strength you blessed us with, will one day bring us all through. You rest well and know you are loved very very much.
