My thoughts and prayers go to all of you in the Arnold family. Richie was a fantastic guy who always had pleasant words and a great smile for me whenever I met or spoke with him. His boistrous personality and hearty laugh will be sadly missed. His character leaves behind a firm legacy his children can be proud of.
All my love

Robin,
I want to extend my sympathy to you and your family. I will never forget the time many years ago when Rich had a new Datsun 240Z or 280- can't quite remember which and he needed a car with more then 2 seats so we traded cars for the day -- I cruised around all day and made many trips up and down Public Ave in that car. He trusted me with it and that says something about his character. I couldn't make it to his service but your family was and is in my thoughts and prayers.
God Bless,
Carole Gardner-Rosenbaum
