Not sure what to say?

John & Lil were so good to my parents when they were at Roadrunner Park in Scottsdale, AZ. I always enjoyed visiting with them when I was in town. I spend several nights in their Arizona room. John and I would share stories of our days as elementary principals and have a few laughs. I will keep Lil and the rest of the family in my prayers.

The best principal my kids ever had! Mr.Arnold was Craig,Mike,and Dawn Hardy's first principal. As a Mother's first experience (to a school system for her children}, he was so kind and understanding of my anxiety in relinquishing them for so many hours every day. We trusted and respected him with every decision. Such a good man. He was a friend to all the kids! Our sincere condolences.

We have known and loved John and Lil for over 20 years! What a wonderful man and good friend! We enjoyed many golf and casino trips together, as well hundreds of hours in their great company!! We miss John's wonderful smile and personality! Our sympathies to Lil and his family dealing with this great loss....Love from the Stoccos, Sam and Joanne

We are so sorry to read of John's passing since reconnecting after so many years, our deepest sympathy to Lillian and their family.

I remember Mr. Arnold from elementary school at Delton. Theresa was in my class. He and Mr. Knowlton ran a tight ship, of course I was petrified of Mr. Knowlton. I got to work with him when I worked in Office Practice in the Superintendent's office during my senior year. He was a great inspiration to all of my younger brothers. I got to reconnect with him a few years ago out here in Arizona. Many fond memories. May memories comfort family and friends as well.
