Just heard of Arlen's passing yesterday. So very sorry. I had the pleasure of playing golf on the Cape with him in Dennis many times over the years. A wonderful guy.

I remember many years working the pumps at Shaw's Mobil. Your father and husband was a strong influence during my high school and college years. I will always remember he put a lot of thought he put info a letter of recommendation he wrote for me for college, drafting it twice. A great influence, role model, and friend. I am very sorry for the loss you are feeling. The world was better with men like him.
