Arlan enjoyed woodworking, camping, fishing, duck hunting and visiting the Oregon Coast. He inherited a dry sense of humor, but loved a good practical joke.

I´m still in disbelief! I´ve lost my wonderful friends. Barb now Arlan. Many years of fun times. Arlan´s liked to tease when I worked in Penney´s he used to come up and walk the mall. He found out I liked Pepsi. He and Barb came through the back door he had a twelve pack of coke. Handed to me but inside he had put Pepsi. He liked to do pranks. I enjoyed his personality a loss of Arlan and Barb.

My self along with Cheryl had cut Arlan´s hair at the Classic Clipper barbershop It seems like forever. We always looked forward to seeing him and enjoyed his company and the many stories he would tell us. Recently I had the pleasure of cutting Arlan`s hair in his home, and I enjoyed visiting him and his little dog.
He was a wonderful guy, and will be missed.

Hello, I am sorry for your loss. I believe my only contact with Arlan was through an email response where he answered a question I had about me attending my first WWA meeting( The Feb 2024 meeting). I had literally been a WWA member for just a few hours before receiving an email saying there would be a monthly meeting to attend either one or two days later. I had yet to receive my member ID and I had never been to the Vancouver trap club before so I replied to that message asking for a bit more info. Arlan was the one to respond to me and was able to help me out and provide the answers I was looking for. Due to this he was technically the first member of the Lower Columbia Chapter I had been in contact with. It is unfortunate he is gone so soon and we couldnt meet in person since I hear he was a really active and proud member always trying to improve things and get membership up.
