To the Centen Family
Just wanted to let you know you are in my thoughts and prayers. It is hard to have a loved one leave us, especially a father and husband that you loved dearly. May the many fond memories of your loved one help you through this difficult time.

Aunt Grace & Family ... You are all in our thoughts and prayers at this time. Every memory I have of Uncle Arnold is a fond one with smiles. He was always so good to us when we visited. I wish I could give you all a hug but the miles are many between us. May God hold you close and comfort you. Love from all of us in Minnesota.

I would like to send my condolences to the Centen family and to those who knew Arnold. I never got the chance to meet him, but from my relationship with Jason Centen, I know the Centens' are hard working, motivated individuals who don't take no for an answer and never give up. May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

Dear Grace & Family of dear Arnold. We at the curling club will miss this dear man who was so regular, an excellent curler, precise at timing rocks, storyteller, and soupmaker. He was a loyal fan of all of us as he was a spectater every day when he wasn't on the ice. In his early years of curling he devoted many hours & days making ice, raising funds by delivering phone books on no less than 3 routes some years. His name is on several of our club trophies and others located in eastern Ontario. He will be missed by us all. Our sincere condolences are extended to you all.
Wally
A curling buddy.
