My condolences to the family of Arnol. My last visit, one of our conversations was how everyone in the neighborhood pronounced his name. One of the many things Arnol modeled was how important it was to believe in God. He helped me to find my way, when my life was the most darkest. I will miss our conversations and his wisdom.I will forever be grateful and his spirit will live on. We shall meet again as we trudge the road to happy destiny. Mucho love my brother
My condolences to the family. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
