Family -
My deepest condolences on the passing of a great man in our community. We will be eternally grateful for his documentation of life in Columbus; esp. his 50-year perspective showing how the city has changed.

We will miss him and hope his legacy will live on through his many images.

Arnett - sorry we missed hearing you play: "Last Mile of the Way" was one of my solos many years ago in the church's Boys Choir.
