    Please accept my heartfelt condolences on the passing of Arnie. He was a steady presence in my life during the past few years, both at the card table and at Dave’s, where my sister and I enjoyed his company over an occasional Sunday lunch. He will be forever a fond memory in my heart.

    I retired from Dave’s Bar & Grill 2 years ago and one of my greatest pleasures was waiting on Mr & Mrs Pepper. After she passed, I was so afraid we wouldn’t see him anymore but he came in and I always told the new staff to take good care of him……..the reason was simple he was a delightful man and always good to the help. Thank you, handsome, for being in our lives !!

      Every afternoon and sometimes night, I looked forward to watching Mr. Pepper’s car pull into Daves Bar and Grille. He was the sweetest, delightful man I ever met. Thank you for making my day, everyday and I hope you’re enjoying lots of pudding!

    My deepest condolences to Arnie’s family. I was so fortunate to have Arnie as my Hi-Lo Jack partner for over 2 years. I will miss him dearly, He spoke so lovingly about his Mrs. Pepper, he is now in her loving arms in Gods Kingdom. Rest in peace my dearest Arnie, until we meet again.
