So sorry to hear about Arnie passing. It was so good to see him last month. I really enjoyed the stories he shared with me about my dad. Thinking of the family & sending big hugs & prayers!
Annie and I started school at Mechanicsville about the same time we rode the same school bus and have been neighbors all our life. We will miss seeing him around .
So sorry to hear of the passing of Arnie. He went to school with my husband Bob Brunscheen. When we were young an all of us first married, we hung out with Jim n Lana Cubbage, Arnie an his wife(sorry can’t remember her name) Butch Zerbe, we all had our first child none of us knowing what lies ahead of us but we had so much fun together on the weekends. Maybe now they’re catching up. Again my sympathy. Sandi Brunscheen
Arnie and I enjoyed talking about old cars and racing. He was a gentile giant and very kind hearted. My sympathies to his family and friends.
So very sorry for your loss I thought the world of Arnie we had a lot of fun I’m so glad I got to talk to him at Dave’s celebration of life and still laughing about me stealing the guys fishing pole and tackle box off the bridge and him and LaWanna laughing so hard and Arnie out running the guy cause he chased us all over.
