My heartfelt farewell to a well-loved and respected friend of many talents, especially story telling! He will be missed by so many people that it would be hard to count them all. I always learned something from him. My sympathies, love and regrets for not being able to attend in person, but I’ll be there in spirit with his beloved companion and my dear friend Dallas Dean.
Arnold will always be in my heart and in my memories. Dallas and Diana Gantt.
