Deepest Condolences to the Kreke family. I teared up when I read he survived Vietnam. God Bless him & may he now Rest in Peace.
May Arnold rest in peace. We will miss his wonderful smile and kind conversation around town.
As Arnold’s neighbor across the street, I was saddened to hear of his passing. Since the weather had been so bad, I missed seeing him in his motorized wheel chair. My mother, Evelyn Anderson, worked with Arnold’s dad at Caseyville Grade School . I’m so sorry I wont be able to pay my regrets. I was diagnosed with cancer on June 1. The radiation and chemo has me at home, except for treatments. I will miss seeing the lights on in the blue house, with the beautiful , new garage.
