He was such a delightful man; a Crosby Road family friend. When Bob and I were ready to purchase our home, he made all the arrangements for us - 45 years ago. I buried Bob September 7th at Puritan Lawn alongside my parents; we were married 47 years. It was a sudden death. Most of Sherman Road and Crosby Road purchased their lots from a door-to-door salesman as I remember. So they will all still be neighbors in death. My sister Judy and I often talk of the great times that we all had growing up in Greenwood together. It's these memories we have to cherish. As ever, Justine (McCormack) Luken It is an honor to have known Arnold. He was a true gentleman and such a good soul. Our deepest sympathy to all the family Dick and Betsey (Batchelder) Quinn
