Arnold Ruse

Dear Rose and/or Family. I'm sorry for your loss. I wish I got the chance to meet him. Especially since it sound like this person is my great grandpa. My great grandma Helen had a son named Richard with a man by the same name. We all still live in the Nampa Idaho area. I was told my mom and I meet him at a funeral back in 2002 but I was only a year old by then so I don't know what they looked like. My grandma was asking if Rose Vigil was still alive.

Dear Rose and family. I'm sorry for your loss of Arnie which I read about in the Statesman Jounal. I did not know him, but I appreciate well-wtitten obitiuaies which summarize a person's life. Arrnie seemed not to be defined by his career but his character of passion for words, exploration and love. A life well lived. My respects to you and yours. Brent Mobley, West Salem.
