We were saddened at Arnolds death, Marion. We had some wonderful times early in our friendship, over on Jefferson, and since. It was always nice to see you at the senior meal site at Fellowship. Our prayers and concerns are with you and the family.##imported-begin##Bob and Corrine Medendorp##imported-end##
My thoughts & prayers are with you all at this time of loss. It was such a joy to work with Arnie at Churchill School. He always had time to lend a helping hand. I shall remember his kindness and his wonderful smile.##imported-begin##Karen Bolhuis (TC.MI.)##imported-end##
Our heartfelt sympathy to our dear Sister, Marian, daughters and their families.
We too will deeply miss Arnie with his great sense of humor and infectious chuckle. He was such a wonderful part of the Osborn family. Arnie, thru all of his own illness, always took time to pay visits to anyone else that was in a hospital or nursing home. He cared for everyone and spread his love and good wishes where ever he went. We mourn our loss, but we know he is now in Heaven, safe in the arms of Jesus. Brother-in-law, Ken, and Sister-in-law, JoAnn Osborn##imported-begin##Ken & JoAnn Osborn##imported-end##
Arnie's friendly smile and caring personality will leave lasting memories for those of us who were privileged to know Arnie at Mona Shores. You are in my thoughts and prayers.##imported-begin##Arlene Bisson##imported-end##
