I love you Papaw
Dixie & I are saddened to read of Arlie’s passing. He always had a smile and would go out of his way to offer help to anyone if needed. Your family is in our prayers. He was a good man and certainly will be missed.
Arlie was a past father in law. That relationship grew into more of a dad and son relationship. He was a very kind and caring person that loved his family and would try to pull the moon down for you if you asked him to. Even though we were a 1000 miles apart, I often called him for advise and just to chat. His passing has left a hole in my heart and many others as well. My children’s, his grandchildren’s,lives have been inriched by his guidance. We will always have fond memories of him and will be sorely missed.
So sorry about August, my thoughts are with you. May he rest in peace. He was so good to dad.
My favorite and most fun uncle is now gone. Have fun with all the loved ones you have in heaven. Iloved you very much August
Peggy, This is Kathy Cockerham (Janet Kimberlin’s daughter). I am truly sorry for your loss. My prayers and love go out to you. Arlie was truly one of the greatest men on this earth. I was very lucky to not only know him, but to be part of his family. He will truly be missed.
