You will be missed by many. It was great growing up with you. You will always be on my mind. Say hi to your mom and dad for me up there.
Arlen, I am sorry that you are gone from this world but glad that you are in God’s heaven.
You led a good life because you are a good man. You will be missed. Your parents are rejoicing that you’re with them safe and sound.
I’m so sorry to hear about Arlen. He was always such a layed back and nice guy. I caught him once or twice at work at the airlines. Actually he always caught me and we would sit and talk for a while. He was one of the good guys. I admired his out look on life. Will miss him. Mary Winskowski(Louie), Bernices daughter. He was a cousin.
Arlen had a solid soul. One of a kind. Condolences to his family and friends. RIP Arlen.
