Arne was a wonderful man! He had a loud, infectious laugh and was always smiling. He loved being a practical joker. One year we were at Colorado State Fair. I think I was about 15 or so. I was desperately trying to get a Pepsi but the vendors walking around didn’t hear me. So, Arne stood up with his booming voice and said, “Hey Pepsi man this young lady needs a Pepsi!” I wanted to crawl under the bleachers because everybody in the grandstands were looking/laughing even the announcer got into it. When I looked up I had like 10 vendors standing around me trying to sell me a Pepsi. Those are the wonderful memories I have of Arne. That’s not the only one, he always teased me. Whenever we went anywhere after that he would say, “do you need anything?? I’ll call someone for you!” No, No, No! was my response Being young and that happening it was embarrassing. When I think back now there is no embarrassment, just wonderful, fond memories that make you smile. I will always hold those memories close to my heart! Goodbye Arne, you RIP and sooner than we know it we’ll be seeing you again. To Bev, Brad, Sherry and Judy, all the spouses and grandchildren etc, you are all in our hearts and prayers!
Just think, Arne is up there on GOD’s right hand using that big, booming voice to help out getting the attention of all the other angels, as needed, of course. Hhmmmm, I wonder if there’s Pepsi there?!?
