So sorry for your loss. I worked with Arnie at Hughes and he always made my day! One of my fondest memories was every morning he would walk outside the back door and yell, "HELLO WORLD!" Such a kind man.....it was a pleasure to know you! God bless your family in this difficult time.

I'm so sorry for your loss, please accept my sincerest condolences. May you find some comfort in God's words at Matthew 5:4 where we read that "happy are those who mourn since they will be comforted”

"Arnie" was a great co-worker at Hughes Aircraft. Everyone enjoyed his presence, and he had a wonderful sense of humor. I know that he will be missed by his loving family and friends. My prayers are with you for comfort.

What a fine human being is now gone--but not forgotten. He was my neighbor for over 30 yrs. He was a kind, helpful, soft spoken and gentle man. The world needs more men like Ed. He will be missed by so many. He fought a long hard battle and now he is at peace with no pain and has his well deserved rest. Joyce Evans
