It is with deep sorrow that we read of Argene's passing. He was a good man and a great Lion. He will be deeply missed.

Mrs. Hodge,
I am a Texas Pin Trader and although I never met Lion Argene, his name is very familiar to any pin trader and probable many Lions.
Please accept my deepest sympathies for your great loss and I am sure many more have a feeling of loss to some degree.
Sincerely,
Lion David Bailey, PMJF
Pantego Lions Club
