Thank You Gene...

To the Arant Family: I've known Gene for the longest time (for over thirty years). I missed him when I became ill, but I still think of him often. We were very good friends. He was my bright and shining light at the College. My thoughts and prayers are with him and his family. I shall miss him a lot. Patricia Adams Johnson (and daughter, Ronnie)

My condolences on the loss of this gentle man. His art is an inspiration; the gift of kindness and intelligence he shared with students, faculty and staff will inhabit his legacy.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time. I was glad I was able to come and see you all, we need to do it more often. Love you guys.

To Judy and family, We were all blessed to have Gene in our lives. He was truly an "Amazing Man". He loved all of you and freely expressed this to students and friends. He will be greatly missed but we all have wonderful memories to lean on in this time of sorrow. Our prayers and thoughts are with you. Love, Dora and Bob Strother

My thoughts and prayers are with you all and I am so sorry for your loss. I apologize I will not be able to make the service. I always enjoyed Mr. Arant's stories we shared around the tree at Christmas.
My warmest regards to all of you.
