Strange to say, I scarcely knew the man. When I was a very young man growing up in New Haven, he was my much older neighbor, the son of my neighbor, in fact. I remember his car, which had a rumble seat (i think I'm using the right word), his brother Larry--who was my mother's age--and his mother, Helen, who was never very warm or friendly to the child that was me. Life is strange, eh?

We were both very saddened to learn of Arnie's recent passing. He was a lovely, handsome man with a great smile. We were once members of the same golf club in CT where he was affectionately known and Mr. Dawn-to- Dusk for the many hours of golf he played every day. He had one of the most beautiful golf swings I ever saw......so fluid and easy and the ball would travel forever.
We want to express our most sincere condolences to his beautiful wife, Anne, and family. He was a very sweet man and will be missed.
Our Deepest Sympathy,
Marty & Marti Anastasio
