I am sadden to see that Arnie passed away. I was a temporary employee with CT Main in Ilion when the Marcy-South line was built in the late 80's. Arnie was a great guy and a joy to work with. I have thought of him often through the years along with others I had met during my employment. I am sure he will be greatly missed and I send thought and prayers to his family and friends.

I am saddened to see that Arnie passed away. I was a temporary employee with CT Main in Ilion when they built the Marcy-South line back in the late 80's. He was a great guy and a joy to work with. I have thought of him often through the years along with a few other employees. I am sure he will be missed by many. My thoughts and prayers to his family and friends.
