The family wishes to thank the Brewster Village staff and nurses who cared for Arnie. Arnie was a joy to be around. Mike, Jack and Tom send a big Thank You to the staff and nurses for caring for their dad. Dad, thinking of all the times we worked together, you taught me the masonry trade; I enjoyed all the jobs you, I & Joe worked together in the state of Wisconsin and in Montana. Judy and I enjoyed all the trips with you and Mom. Thanks for being you, I couldn't ask for a better dad. I will miss the fish fries on Friday nights. Your devoted son, Mike Dad, Ann and I enjoyed our time together with you. We enjoyed watching your face light up whenever your Great Grandchildren came around; they all loved and cherished you and Mom. We sure had a lot of fun working and playing with old cars. Thanks for giving me driving lessons in the Model A; I will treasure it forever, and think of you and Mom every time we go for a cruise in it. Love Jack Dad, you were a great father and I am proud to be your son. I would like to thank you for a few things. Thank you for teaching me the value of a hard day's work. Thank you for teaching me the value of discipline, with this knowledge we have raised two wonderful children. Thank you for teaching me the skill of woodworking and how to repair just about anything and everything. Most of all, thank you for being my dad. Say hello to Mom. Love, Tom and Jody
