Arnold Herman "Arnie" Randrup

Arnie and I were friends and co-workers at Sanger Boats in Fresno. I will always remember the last time I saw him...he was dancing at my wedding and it was so heart-warming to see him healthy and happy. Arnie's heart was huge and he loved his family and friends. He knew that I liked Wizard of OZ and he drove for miles to present me with some of his Oz yard sale memorablia finds on my birthday. What a gentle soul....I will cherish his friendship forever.
My thoughts are with his...

My memories of Arnie date from my childhood in Fresno, where he was the wild older brother to my even wilder friend, Andy. I remember him being a happy person at heart, and I trust that personality helped carry him through the times of struggle that all middle-aged men must face. Now his struggles are over, and we are left to savor our own recollections from a half-century of fun-filled memories.

My deepest sympathies to all of my cousins on the loss of Arnie at such a young age. I wish I had the opportunity to meet him... now I will look forward to hearing stories about him from each of you when we have the opportunity to meet.

He is making music with the best of the best now....Arnie will always be the drummer on the soundtrack of my life.

So sorry to hear of your brother's passing. No matter how different we are in our lives, the loss of a sibling is a life changing event. My heart goes out to everyone in your family. Love you, Debbie

Arnie was a talented drummer, and was never happier than when he was making music. I still see his smile as he pounded out the rhythm on those skins, right on the mark to every nuance of the guitars and singer. Gonna miss your back-beat, Brother.
