I would like to first start out by passing my deepest condolences to my cousins out there. This is truly a great loss for all of us, specially to all of you.
Although I didn't get to spend allot of time with Uncle Arnold. He had a profound effect on my life. It was through Uncle Arnold's and Uncle Lester's love of fishing that fishing became mine too. For that I say Thank You Uncle Arnold. You have left me with one of greatest and most positive influences life has to offer. God bless you and may you rest in peace. You will be missed.
Love
Martin & Melene Laughlin

I will always have such fond memories of this wonderful man. He always had a huge smile and a strong hug whenever we met. I have too many memories to write all of them down, but I'll always remember this "salt of the earth" gentleman that loved his fishing, his farming, but most of all his family. I'm sure that he is is heaven already with his beloved Rosemary.
My heartfelt sympathy is with all of you.
My love,
Cousin Peggy Laughlin
