I worked with Arnold at Commnet Cellular for 10 years. I was always amazed by his kindness and ability to remember everyone's names! Such a great mentor and amazing business man. I had much respect for him.

I don't know if you remember me Connie, but I remember you!! You could see the love that Arnold had for you and visa versa! Childhood sweethearts for sure. I'm sure you miss him terribly. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

So sorry, but our thoughts as always are with you all. Ann and Dick

Arnold was one of the most inspiring people I ever met in my life. He was willing to sacrifice his own comfort and security to pursue his dreams, and never had an unkind word for those who aspired to do well. His motto "Onward And Upward" has continued to inspire me throughout my career, and I will dearly miss his indomitable spirit!

my grandfather was Jacob Pohs, born in mid 1860's, resided in Brooklyn, N.Y.

Connie and Family,

I was sorry to hear today of Arnold's passing. He was a true mentor and leader to many of us who had the opportunity to work with him at CommNet. I have many fond memories of Arnold's engaging personality, quick wit and personal interest in those that he led.

Please accept our sincere sympathy and kindest regards.

Dear Pohs Family,
I was a young lawyer who briefly worked with Arnold years ago. He was one of not only my favorite clients at the firm, but also one of the most elegant, kindest men I ever knew. I actually had no idea, at the time, who he was or the high level of success he'd had because he was always so down to earth, easy to talk with and such a great teacher. I am so sad to hear about him as I have often thought of him over the years with great fondness. I'm sorry I won't have a...

We have lost a great man. You taught your lessons well and many benefit from listening! You went out of your way to mentor me. You succeeded in putting me on the right path. Your kindness could never be repaid and will surely, never be forgotten.

Rest in Peace!
