I was saddened to hear of the passing of Arnold. I don't know how old he was (I am not good with that kind of stuff), but I remember visiting him on Whidbey many years ago after he had retired, and I even bought one of his bird feeders. It worked great! The damned birds wore it out! I am now semi-retired in a house my wife and I had built above Miller Bay, just north of Suquamish. It has been a long road to this destination, but the last legs of this trip surely began with my experience here in Washington State when I joined the Genie team, decades ago. My professional life covers many different companies, and the states of California and Washington. There is no doubt, however, that the highlight of my life has been the experiences that I had in those years at Genie. To this day, when I see Genie equipment, I feel that the hundreds of millions of sales that the company books each year would not have have been possible but for the first steps represented by the Z30-20 product. Even though the success of that product was indeed a team effort, I will always cherish the relationship that Arnold and I had during the machine's startup. I always had great respect for the knowledge and experience that he had relating to how we could get that beast produced, and I always felt that he was more than respectful of my engineering knowledge, even if I was just a young know-it-all engineer, full of book learning. I think we made a good team. I hope he thought so, too. I hope he felt as much pride as I do when seeing all that Genie-blue equipment around. He was a big part of the success. Any sense of accomplishment I feel in the growth of the Genie brand is due in no small part to Arnold's contributions. Again, it was some time ago that I last saw Arnold. I am not good with keeping up relationships with people. I will always have happy memories of Arnold, and I hope he remembered me the same. I probably will not be able to make the services on Sunday. Not a good time to do four ferry rides, I don't think. If I can figure something out, I will try to get there, but, if I am not able to be there in person, please know that I will be there in spirit. Arnold was a good person. He was an important acquaintance, no, a valued friend, in my life. May he rest in peace. Cordially, Tim Eaves Poulsbo, WA
