Background
Arnie adopted my brother & I as toddlers & raised us as his own, he fought with so many things and never made any of them a big deal.. suffering from agent orange took a toll on us as he was not able to eat for over the last 10 years by mouth, he beat throat cancer, he suffered pneumonia, more than 20 times, & in 2021. His voice box was removed as a laryngectomy procedure was done. He is a purple heart soldier & a marine veteran. Flowers are greatly appreciated.
