Arlen has always been an inspiration to me of how to be a great father. His beautiful daughters are a testimate to the way he raised them and loved them.
I will also always remember and cherish how he always greeted me with a smile and warm laughter. He was always a joy to be with.
Thank you Arlen, I'll miss you.

Arlen was more like a father figure than a big brother to me. Our father passed when I was 17. He changed my life in so many ways. He was a loving brother, a mentor, a terrific father, and we shared so many laughs and unusual experiences together. He and Ellen included me in many family gatherings and fun excursions. He inspired so many friends to live their dreams and enjoy every moment!
