Arnie was the best thing that ever happened to me. We didn't have as much time as we'd like but the time we had made me feel so lucky. Our 1st couple years together were filled with so much joy & laughter, fun trips - we created so many beautiful memories together. The saddest moment was on Dec 13, 2018 when I could no longer take care of him myself & keep him safe, that was when he was moved to Carlisle Care Center. I spent so much time there visiting him - the fun continued as we became close to some of the other patients in his unit as well as the staff. Our life together took another hit when Covid kept us further apart, I've missed being able to hug you so much, I wanted to be there but couldn't. You will always be the blessing I never expected & a love that will never die. I love you so much, I'm one lucky lady Mr. Quick, I'll see you on the other side (the last words I said to him).

Arnold was my Dad, friend, protector, & biggest fan. He could always make me laugh no matter how blue I seemed. I could tell him anything, as he had a rare kindness not found often. He was a huge part of my heart and now it is broken. I will miss him endlessly.
