  1. Sorry to hear about the passing of Arnie I really liked him it was nice to visit it with him when I would stop over at the house

  2. I have many memories of Arnie and Peggy growing up when we were neighbors in Hillsboro even though it was so many years ago. Sending all of you love.

  3. Great memories as a child with both him and Peggy. Time goes by so fast then all of a sudden it stops when something like this happens, you reflect and wish you could go back just for a day. I looked up to and respected this man. I know he is at peace now and hanging out with grandpa Whitey and the rest of his siblings. God bless and lots of love.

  4. I made a donation to Hospice in memory of my friend Arnie. They were a comfort when our daughter died. Mike Knudson.
