Dear David and Rosemary and family:- Sincerest sympathy to both of you and all your families. I know you both have many happy memories as I do, as well. I will always remember the many visits with your parents at our farm in Guelph and your farm, as we grew up and how much fun we always had. May these memories sustain you and may it help to know we care and are thinking of all of you.

Over the years, we always looked forward to seeing Arnold at horse shows and sales, and will always remember his visit to the farm last year , the stories, history, horses. What great memories.

Dear Rosemary and David; My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. Your Dad brings back many fond childhood memories of mine. He was one special man in my Dad's life! I'll always cherish the horse/carriage rides that so many will never experience. He leaves a legacy of a very full life, family, numerous friends and a sterling reputation. It was a pleasure to know him. So sorry distance makes it impossible to attend his service. I will be there in spirit and prayers. Sincerely, Susan Engel McDonald, Chicago, Il.

Rosemary and David: The phrase "words fail" is appropriate here. Your Dad's personality, contenance, work ethic, faith, intellect, and compassion , really knew no bounds. He fearlessly followed his path and always did the right thing. He was a man that had pretty much "seen it all". He worked hard with his hands and his heart . He was and is a terrific example of a fine human being for the rest of us to emulate. Diane and I had various opportunities to sit and talk with your Dad. We very much enjoyed and appreciated those opportunities. He had a great appreciation for the past , a keen interest in the present, and a sharp eye to the future. We offer our heartfelt condolences to the two of you and your families. Relish the wonderful memories your Father has given to you, for they are the legacy he passes on to you both. God Bless Diane and Ron Helmuth

Please accept my condolenses on the passing of Arnold. He was a great gentle man who always had the time to spend with whoever came along. It seems that I have know him all my life, from plowing matches, to fair and the sale barn in Kitchener, I always had a wonderful visit with him. My Dad was Andy Doughty from Jarvis who was a clyde man, but Arnold was always ready to lend a hand or piece of advice. He will be sorely missed. My thoughts and prayers are with all the family. Heaven just got another great horseman.
