Tom was such a good-natured soul and a lot of fun to be around at the family gatherings. We had many spirited conversations and communication about the family history over the years. He will be dearly missed by family and friends alike. Our prayers are with Tom’s family in the loss of their patriarch.

Your father always showed so much love and happiness on his face. You could tell the amount of love he had for his family and I’m sure he will be greatly missed. He was the glue that kept the family together. Don’t let the little things in life separate you from one another especially in times like these. “Cast all your cares upon Him, for He cares for you”. God Bless each and every one in the Arri family along with close friends.
