When I review my professional life at my current age of 83 Years, Dale Arner remains as the center of it! David Wesley

When I reflect on my memories of my Mississippi State years and my career afterward, it gives me great pleasure to know how Dr. Arner was an integral part of my success and to know that I owe my advancement beyond my B.S. program to him. I will always be indebted to him and always proud to have been his student - and fellow Pennsylvanian. Heartfelt thanks to you Doc!!!

Dr. Dale Arner will never leave our heart's and treasured memories! Mary and David Wesley

I can't believe Dr. and Mrs. Arner are gone from our world, but I know they are in Heaven and I know they enriched the lives of so many of us still walking this land. I am indebted to Dr. Arner for what he enabled me to do and for his unwavering support, friendship, and goodwill. What a fine example of a caring and sharing man. I thank God that he allowed me to experience Dale and Julie in my still formative years - a wonderful gift that lives on in my heart and mind.

Dale opened the door to my professional life in wildlife conservation. He provided that guidance to many others that have applied his anchor to their biological excellence. He and Julia are much loved and appreciated for all they have been to all of us.

Dr. Arner's memory lives on in my heart and mind. I think about him and Mrs. Arner so often and those thoughts are always such special memories of the life and times we shared. Such memories are a gift and a blessing to me and I thank God for the Arners.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Mrs. Arner and the family - Dr. Arner was respected and beloved. He gave me the opportunity to be his graduate student that propelled me on my professional career. I will always be grateful and indebted to him. He will be greatly missed, but his memory and legacy lives on. Mrs. Arner is a wonderful example of a faithful, loving, and supportive wife.

Sorry to hear of Dr. Warner's passing. With sympathy, Pete Heard

To Julia, Jennie, Barry, Jon and Jeff....please know that our condolences and prayers are with you in the loss of Dr. Arner.
