Not sure what to say?

I had the great honor to hear Bob speak of his career in the CAP and the USAAC at a dinner of the Association of Naval Aviators and again meet and talk personally at the Westerville Library WWII dedication. He was truly a great hero from the Greatest Generation. Westerville and the world will be a lesser place without him. I share your loss.
Sincerely,
John Scott

Dear Debbie & family: I was sorry to read about your Dad. I often saw him go past my house to put flowers on your Mom's grave. He took such good care of those graves. He stopped a couple of times to chat with me. It was always good to talk to him.
Wendell & I are thinking of you.
Sincerely Betty (Wendell) Nye
Kathy's parents.

May your wonderful memories comfort your family during this difficult time.

Bob and Debbie- very sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. Recall his presence as we grow up with the Greatest Generation heroes in a special place and time called Westerville. CAVU- Ceiling and visibility unlimited, sir.

I had the honor and privilege to interview Col Arn back in 2012 and transcribe the oral history of his Civil Air Patrol service in World War II. In 2014, I paid witness to his receiving the Congressional Gold Medal for his CAP service in the war. Godspeed and good tailwinds, colonel. You remain an inspiration and your accomplishments will live on for future generations to enjoy.

RIP , SIR
