Not sure what to say?

Our thoughts and prayers go out to your family. John Arends showed the house we bought here in Briargate 21 years ago. We still live here. He made an impression on us.

Hello Judy and Girls,

I am so sorry for the loss of John. I met John back in 1978, I was just newly married, became a manager for two small apartment buildings behind the YMCA in Mankato which he shared ownership. Then in 1979, he sold us our first home on Byron Street. I lived in that home for 18 years. He let the home sell itself, no pressure. His philosophy should be noted by all in realistate. Allow the buyer to find out if they love the home, only provide good information as...

Our deepest sympathies to his family and co-workers. We never met John but our realtor, Kevin, talked highly of him. We were treated like family when we bought our home. I can tell the community will miss him dearly. Our thoughts and prayers are with all who knew John.

is my cousin. My Mother was Hazel Arends Benson. I just know how hard it is to part with a sibiling and my thoughts and prayers are with all the family.

We wish to express our deepest sympathy to all the Arends family. John sold our home for us in 1998 and we will never forget his honesty and professionalism he showed to us. Lydia & John Baumann

While I didn't know John personally, I had the pleasure of knowing and working with two of his girls; Heather and Tiffany. My heart goes out to both of them and his entire family during this most difficult time. Take comfort in knowing that he's at peace.

Judy, Heather, Tiffany, Granddaughter, and John's brother and sisters,
My thoughts are with you, especially this morning. John and I shared so many good times growing up. Since our college years, we have rarely seen each other, but the bond that was made as youth still remains. How I wish I could also have enjoyed time with John during our adult years, and how grateful I am for the last words we were able to share. A cousin, Diana
