If you went to MGC you knew the custodians name, “Arnie”. Great times when he drove the bus so we could go to Mauthe Lake for the day.
I organize the class of 1967 reunions. At a reunion a MGC trivia quiz was given and everyone got the answer correct. What was the name of the custodian?
A life well lived, touched many lives and
now can rest in peace. 🙏
Betty Novak, class of 1967 (MGC)

Grandpa was the embodiment of rugged strength and unwavering kindness. He was a master craftsman that could turn a wrench with the best of them. But it wasn’t just his skill with his hands that made Grandpa so special; it was his heart, overflowing with love and wisdom that he shared generously with those around him. I’d like to share one particular moment that truly captured the essence of who Grandpa was.
In June of 2017, my wife Ebony and new-born daughter Lucy joined me to visit Grandpa. As we gathered in the cozy living room, the air filled with laughter and the clatter of shuffling cards. But amidst the joy, there was also the incessant cries of little Lucy, a bundle of energy and emotion that seemed to defy all attempts at comfort.
As I struggled to soothe my crying daughter, a silent plea for help must have flickered in my eyes. With a knowing smile, Grandpa said to me in a soft yet commanding voice, “Give her to me, young man.” I placed Lucy into his arms and, as if my magic, the cries that had filled the room fell silent, replaced by the gentle hum of Grandpa’s voice that seemed to lull Lucy into a momentary state of relief.
In that moment, Grandpa revealed yet another facet of his boundless wisdom. Beyond his craftsmanship and strength of character, he possessed another precious gift; the ability to bring calm to the stormiest of seas, to offer solace in the midst of chaos. He let me know everything was going to be alright and as an inexperienced young father, this meant the world to me. Grandpa may have been a man of cement and iron, but his true legacy lay in the hearts of those he touched; a legacy of love, laughter, and the quiet strength of a gentle soul.

Aloha Dad,
We are forever grateful for your guidance, tutelage and love. Sherri and I will truly miss you and will cherish the many great traveling, camping and fishing experiences shared together. Thank you for your patience with which we modeled and raised our two boys. You genuinely earned the title “Dad.” Give Mom a huge hug and kiss for us.

Aloha a hui hou (till we meet again),

Gramps, I’ll always cherish the times we shared when I was younger. From using simple tools, few arts and crafts, cribbage and our camping trips across the map. You will be deep missed but always remembered. Give Grandma a big hug when you see her. Aloha until we meet again.

I'm sorry to hear of your loss. Like my Dad's recent death, it is hard to live on without those we love. I'm just glad we shared our parents with the others in the family and wish them well in the company of those that left this earth before them. I'm sure they are looking down at us thinking of them and observing our lives continuing. I wish your family a positive transition to the new reality with hope of great lives like our fore fathers.

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

I have a happy memory of Uncle Arnie taking Aunt Marion, Chris, and me to a lakeside festival (Oktoberfest?) many years ago in Milwaukee. He was such a a nice man. I send warm condolences to my cousins on this painful loss.

Arnie was the long time faithful and friendly usher whom we so much loved at MGC. He leaves so many touching memories of service and devotion for us all. May he Rest In Peace. Surely there is a special place for him next to God.

Marvin, my sincere condolences on the death of your father. Your dad was a very special person to so many of us at MGC. I graduated in 1963. You most likely do not remember me but know I always thought so highly of your dad - and you. May his memory always be a blessing to you and your entire family.

My very sincere condolences to Arnie's family. He was a treasure of a person! During my time at MGC he (and Ray Pelt) helped me personally tremendously. My husband and I also enjoyed playing sheepshead with him. May he rest in peace and may you be comforted by his memory.
