Our condolences on the passing of Uncle Arnold. He was always a bigger than life presence and I remember with a smile the hours of pool played with him at the house and at grandma and grandpa's.
The service was touching as were the thoughts shared by Dale, Jenn and Leslie.
Our thoughts are with the entire family.
Love,
Norm & Kim Bogner
Dale, Jen and Leslie, what an honest and heartfelt tribute. Your comments brought back many memories of Uncle Arnold during our family visits. I especially remember his dry sense of humour. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
I was sad to hear the news of Uncle Arnold's passing. My thoughts and sympathies are with you all. As I was reading the obituary, I read that he was a prankster and it made me smile. It brought back a childhood memory of family gatherings and one in particular. I would been 10 or 11 and being back in the 80's, I had this pair of pants that had strings on the side of the pockets (80's fashion???). We were are at my grand parents place and my grandmother had a knitted afghan that was covering the sofa. Uncle Arnold came and sat next to me on the sofa, over the course of the next few minutes, unbeknown to me, Uncle Arnold had been slyly working to tie the string on my pants to the afghan. He had a good laugh when I tried to stand up. I don't think I was too happy at the time, but looking back on it, makes me laugh and it's probably something I would do to my kids.
RIP
Dearest Family of Mr Arnold FRIESEN I was so sad to hear of the passing of one of the greatest men who crossed my path in life. Mr FRIESEN taught me from Grade 7-9 I did not realize it during those three years , but soon came to realize that I had been taught and influenced by a great man. It is because of him that I later became a school teacher myself. I searched for Mr FRIESEN for several years after school to let him know how important he was to me in my life. When organizing a school reunion fifteen years ago I mentioned this to a friend Gordie Miller who knew exactly where to find this good man. We were all so thrilled to have our wonderful teacher and his dear wife attend that reunion. Mr FRIESEN you are now home with your Savior and we will meet again. My prayers are with your dear family at this so sad a time.
Just know AGATHA and family that you are in my thoughts and my prayers Much Love Cheryl Greene Rhodes
Mr. Friesen was my school teacher in Carmangay for grades 7, 8 and 9!! He was an excellent teacher who was loved and respected by all his students!! I still remember the exact day in class when he was so excited to announce the birth of his first baby girl, Jennifer!!
Mr. Friesen taught me for three informative years; I realize now how lucky I was to have had such a wonderful example of a principled man to educate me; a man of intelligence, understanding and at the same time a disciplinarian who could keep control of a rowdy classroom. During the winter months he always would organize ping-pong tournaments for us at noon hour and soft-ball during gym in the spring. He definitely went above and beyond his duties and did everything he could do to make our classroom interesting and stimulating! Thank you, Mr. Friesen!!!

Mr. Friesen was a much loved teacher. He was fair and kind. He taught me in grade 7, 8 and 9. We were so thrilled when he came to the school reunion in Carmangay. It meant so much to all the students he taught. He was a very selfless person. RIP dear Mr Friesen

Dave and I are so sorry for your loss. Our prayer and with you. - Dave and Sharlene Oberacher
My heartfelt condolences to you Aunt Agatha, Wes and Jennifer, Leslie and Dave, Dale and Tracy and the rest of the family. I have a few special memories of Uncle Arnold. He was always willing to chat, all I needed to do was start a conversation with him and then listen to him without interfering or arguing his point when it differed from mine. It was hard to get away from those conversations once he had my attention. Those times were special. But the best memory I have of him was how he (and you Aunt Agatha) cared for Adina and myself when we went through the loss of our Stephanie. They knew exactly what we were going through.
May God embrace you all with his loving arms
Gord Wittenberg
