God rest the soul of The Dean of Sports. It was a privilege to have known and worked with him.
Arnold you have left us too young, you trained and made many of us better at our craft as we listened to you grow through the decades.

Rest in Peace friend you will be missed by throngs, now you join your colleagues Bob Steele Mel Allen & Curt Gowdy.. The state now mourns another legend in his time.

Arnold surely was the Dean of Sports, but I will always remember the joy he got from broadcasting no matter what or when. On Election Night at WTIC Arnold was the first to volunteer whether that meant making phone calls, making coffee or reporting from a candidate’s headquarters. For Arnold It was not about being in the spotlight, it was about serving the listeners, and being part of the team. In my professional and personal life, I will always be inspired by Arnold.
Bless you Arnold.
