Uncle Arlis was a kind person. He was my Dad's brother and I enjoyed visiting with his children at their house long ago.

Mack, Rita and Nancy, I check the obits in San Angelo so seldom, but was so glad that I did not miss this news. Ninety years, wow! I know that he will be missed by all the family, but I am sure that you have some great memories to recall and enjoy. I certainly do. Of all my dad's partners, he was my favorite because he had such a zest for life. God bless you and your family during this time of bereavement. He's in God's loving arms now.

On Tuesdays, when I walked through the double doors of the Mayfield Unit at Sagecrest, I knew Arlis would be watching. Sure enough, he waved every time. He was such a gentleman; would kiss my hand, smile, and make the day much brighter. I will miss him very much.

Dear Cousins, Cathy, I and our family want to extend to you our deepest sympathy. Uncle Arlis was to me a very special person. His care and humor will be greatly missed in our extended family. He always left us laughing and glad we had been with him. The trip he made with us to Colorado several years ago will alway be a precious memory to us. We kept trying to slow him down but he wouldn't slow. He loved the trip and we loved the time we were able to spend with him. May God bless all of you during this special time. I am sorry that we won't be with you in San Angelo, but you will be in our prayers. Love to all of you, Ernie and Cathy McCoulskey
