Arnold Didrickson

I enjoyed very much getting to know Arnold, even though I didn't know him very long I'm glad we were acquainted for awhile at least.

He was a good man and fine example for living sober among our Alaska Native people. He will be missed. Blessings and condolences to the Didrickson clan. Rest In Peace Arnold, thank you for your example.

Sleep well my love.

My deepest condolences to the friends and family of Arnold. I got to know him during his college years and I enjoyed his friendship.........he was a very caring person who I am proud to say was my friend. I was very sad to see he has passed on. What a good man. Glad I knew him even for a short time.

it was a pleasure to meet Arnold's daughter,son and sister and to take part in the celebration for him .He will surely be missed by the many lives he touched. have a safe journey as you take Arnold home. This is certainly a great loss for the Anchorage Tlingit and Haidia Community. Sharing the day with you his family it was good to be able to get the chance to say"thank you for sharing Arnold" as it was put by one of our cousins. Pam See/Mabel W. Pike Anchorage,Ak.

Thank you,Arnold, for the years you shared your experience, strength and hope. We deeply appreciate your tireless service to the fellowship and your native peoples.

I met and worked with Arnold about 1975 at Franklin Bluff just south of Prudhoe Bay, on the Trans Alaska Pipeline. Since then I stayed in contact for a while and gave him a ride to ANMC about 1980. Later he said that was the day he sobered up? Later when I had to sober-up or die trying (late 1991), there he was! I think he was working for the providence hospital and he looked reasonbly broke, happy and healthy. Thats all I wanted out of life and he was a shining example of that.
