John and Susan--

Vicky and I send you our condolences on Arky's death.  His auctions were always lively and memorable--a nice change of pace from our daily lives.  Best Wishes--Don

Sending my most sincere sympathy to Connie and family. What a wonderful man and father! He had a million dollar smile and personality bigger than life. He always sought me out when you asked him to give me your regards. He was an icon at the Butler County Fair giving of his time to auction off all the 4-H and FFA animals over the years. I know you will miss him, but so will Butler County. It was my pleasure to have known him.♥️🌹🙏 
Sharing in your grief, 
Beverly and Phil Foutz

John and Susan,
Rock and I thought the world of Arky and Jane. We were thankful to be able to buy the farm from them and have a great life here. Lots of good memories. Now Rock and Arky can visit and talk farming in heaven. Jane may get a little bored listening! My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family!

May the Lord comfort you and we extend our Sympathy to the entire family!     I have memories of  my grandpa, Lenox "Hacker" Vaughn taking my sister and I and often joined by our parents to the Auctions.  Grandpa was so proud of his nephew, "Arky"  It became our entertainment on the weekends to go.  Many times when there was toys sold in a lot, "Arky" would bid for my parents, Harry & Geraldine Jarvis to make sure we took something home!  LOL!   He made the weekends fun!   Years later I bought antique tables and chairs at an auction that I still have today and I have the memory of my Grandpa and Arky when I look at them.    It was just a few weeks ago that I spoke to Arky on the phone and I really wanted to visit him but couldn't with COVID!  I will see you again in Heaven "Arky" you were an unforgettable person!      So glad you are united again with Jane!

To The Vaughn Family, 
Mike & I are so saddened to hear about Arky! He was always 
such an upbeat & fun individual. We so enjoyed having dinner 
sometimes with him at Berkeley Square & we always asked how 
he was doing when we didn't see him! Our hearts & prayers go out to each of you!

My dad, Robert McIntosh, and Arky were long-time acquaintances and friends especially later in life.  They were even neighbors lastly at  Berkeley Square.  They shared a lot of laughs and a few sorrows.  Since my Dad liked to share his baked goods, Arky would stop by occasionally with a quart of strawberries, hand them to my Dad, and would say, “Here.  You know what to do with them.”  Soon, a strawberry pie would be created and Arky would get the bulk of it and my Dad would have to explain he needed to keep some as a quality check.  My Dad would discuss medical suggestions to help Arky through later difficulties as friends would.
Both men will be missed greatly.
Peace and deep condolences to the Vaughn family.

To the family, I am so sorry to hear of Arky’s passing. He and Jane were such special friends to my Mom and Dad!  They were so caring and good to them.  May prayers strengthen and may memories comfort the family❤️

Arky was a great friend to my Mom and Dad. Dad always looked forward to playing cards with him every week. He always had a smile on his face and I loved hearing his laughter. 

Auctioneers don’t get any better than him  period!

Arky was a very sharing man especially when he did work at the fair. He was such a friendly guy to the kids who were selling their animals. He and Jane were loved by the community. 

John and Susan
We know Arky will be missed by everyone in your family.  We felt he enjoyed a full and meaningful life. What an impact he had on so many people in this community.  We thoroughly enjoyed the opportunities we had to be in his company. His was a life well lived.

Arky will be missed by many such a great person to all that knew him.  Very sorry for your families loss.   A true gentleman at all times.  I would often bid on a gallon of paint to be able to stand on at the auctions to be able to see what what coming up next.  Of course this stems from back in the 70's plus.   Toni Sergent

John, Susan, Connie & families,
We were saddened to learn ofArky's passing.  What an interesting and fun man, who lived a very rich, full & interesting life!  He always made me smile! We join you in celebrating him and his long life.  And surely Jane has welcomed him home with open arms!

John, Susan, Nancy, Russell and Connie,  Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this time.  Arky was one of those people who was so generous and giving back to the community with his skill of auctioneering.  He had the best call and enjoyed going to a sale to hear him.  He is a mentor to those that will follow.  He treated people fair and was well versed on his items he sold.  He gave a history lesson along the way with his selling talent. He did not meet a stranger.   He will be missed greatly.  Keep all the memories and fun times alive and close to your heart.  What a great age to leave such a long lasting legacy. 

To Katy, Mike and Vaughn families we are saddened to hear about Arky's passing. May the Lord comfort and guide all of you in the days to come. We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers. 

John and family:

Mom and I are so sorry to learn of the passing of Harold. I’ll always have fond memories of working the auctions as a kid, with Harold and my dad, Jim Hoel. Harold was not only a great auctioneer, he was a good man and I’ll always remember his kindness to me and others. It was always a lot of fun working the auctions with the crew and regular attendees being more like family than co-workers and visitors. Mom and I wish you peace in this time of loss. You all remain in our thoughts and prayers. 
Teri (Hoel) Horsley

Boyd Carr

John, Susan, Connie and Family
Sorry to hear of your Dad's passing and I am so glad I was able to visit Arky last week and talk auctions for an hour.   Arky and my Dad were of same era, were competitors but more importantly they were friends.  I appreciated Arky attending my Dad's funeral and I hope to be able to attend your services later on.  I remember how proud Arky was when he was inducted in the Ohio Auctioneers Hall of Fame.  The auction world lost another Icon from an era where his word was golden.  God Bless, John and Debbie Kramer

I had the pleasure of working an auction with Harold several years ago when Ray Wegman had purchased a property from Ace Doran.  Ray contracted with Harold to do the auction and I was asked on Ray's behalf to assist with the auction.  Ray had a lot of respect for Harold.  It was quite a memorable auction with just tons of old stuff.  Please accept my sympathy in your loss from a mutual admirer and OAA Hall of Fame member.
