Not sure what to say?

With deepest sympathy to the family. I was in his class of 1954

Our deepest sympathy's to your family at the loss of a great person. We had a chance to talk to Dick at my two uncles funerals. Harley & Burt Woyahn. May God bless you, Bill & Ginger Schloesser. Mona's son.

I owe my final teaching years to Dick Arnold. I experienced layoffs due to declining enrollment in the Elmbrook District. After a year at Marquette Law School, I once again tried to find a teaching job. Dick hired me to teach U.S. History and Economics, at South, and I am forever grateful to that wonderful man.

I had met Dick at Audrey and my class reunions. But it was when we appeared together in the play "Barefoot in the Park" with the Waukesha Civic Theater, that we really...

My grandfather hired Mr. Arnold and he in turn hired me. Over the years he always asked me to call him 'Dick' and I never could, I had and still have too much respect for him, what he did and what he meant to so many. Someone in heaven just got a great doubles partner.

To the family of Dick Arnold,

My sincerest sympathy. I had so much respect for Mr. Arnold. He was a legend in Business Education, long after he moved on to use his organizational skills as principal.

He hired me from Whitewater in 1976, and then my talent as an Accounting teacher was tested by having Devon take my class!

Dear Aunt Audrey, Devon, Thane, Joanne, Trevor and Alyssa,
Our deepest condolences to all of you upon hearing this very sad news. We are truly heartbroken by Uncle Dick's death, and he'll forever be remembered for his warm, generous, and caring ways. We are indeed blessed to have had him in our lives. You are certainly in our thoughts and prayers. We hope cherished memories will always remain in your hearts and help bring you peace and comfort now and in the days to come. We send...

Please accept my deepest sympathies.

I am so sad to hear of your loss. I am a friend of Bob Schuett....long time friend of Dick's. I was also a student at Waukesha South High School while Dick was the Principal. He was a classy and wonderful man!

My deepest sympathy to the Arnold Family. (Class of '83)
