To the Arnold Family,
My Family and I are sending our deepest condolences to the family of my #1 Coach, Isaac Arnold. He was and always will be an inspiration in my life. College became a serious choice in my life after I met Coach Arnold. His spirit was that of a pure, strong and wise black man always ready to take on challenges. He was my mentor and I will always love him and will miss him dearly. My memories of Coach Arnold are forever.

To the Family
Ike, and I were at S.C. State back in the 60's he was a great friend. We did not stay in touch over,the years, as we should have. I was so very, very sorry to hear of his death. He will be missed by the many people, whose lives he touched and the kids he molded.

October 16, 2009

To the Arnold Family,
My deepest condolences to all. Coach Arnold was awesome to me. I was his teacher's aid for Driver's Ed at Josey, and he also served as a personal mentor to me while I attended high school. He encouraged me to be my best and is one of the reason's I joined Kappa Alpha Psi. I will always cherish his spirit.
Deepest Regards,

To My Cousin, Sonny

I will always cherish my memories of you, especially your witty sense of humor. I will never forget the lunch you made us at Grandmom's house of mashed potatoes, bacon and fried bacon grease for gravy. And how can I forget those grease sandwiches.

Kitty, you were the love of his life. I know you will miss him dearly. May God's love continue to comfort you.

Love

Mrs. Arnold and family,

My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

It was indeed an honor to have known Mr. Arnold while I was a student at Lucy Laney.

Mr. Arnold was supportive and always willing to provide assistance. I am reminded of the frequent transportation he provided to the 'bottom' to straggling students and athletes in the school's old station wagon.

Sincere blessings,

To the Arnold family, may you find comfort and peace in the memories of your loved one. Mr. Arnold touched a lot of lives, including mine. He taught me how to drive. Not many people's nerves can take on the task of teaching (many) teenagers how to drive, but Mr. Arnold did, and he made it fun. I will cherish those memories. God bless you.
