I will always remember Arne's generosity and love to my family and myself. I had my first cup of coffee at Arne's house, I will never forget, it was black and I didn't like it. I always enjoyed going to the mountains with him and family in the fall. I will always be greatful for you and your doings. Love Jason Overgard

Arne was a true "gentle" man. He was a great mentor and friend with a wonderful positive outlook on life. He will certainly will be missed. He always stood by his commitments and gave so much to my mom in her last days. He will always be remembered. We know that Arnie is now in a better place!
