Dear Members and Towing Community,
It is with deep sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Mr. Ricky Arnold.
He left us peacefully on Monday, the 15th of June, after a prolonged illness, and was laid to rest by his loving wife, Doris Arnold on Tuesday, the 16th of June.
We celebrate the life he so fully lived, and the many contributions he made to our industry. He deserves to be beautifully remembered.
I, his “crazy Cuban”, mourn the loss, and miss him terribly, as I remember he and I joined PWOF together, about 40 years ago, and had a great friendship of mutual trust and understanding.
Your support and kind words during this difficult time are greatly appreciated, as we offer Doris and the entire Arnold family our most sincere condolences.
Ramon Crego, Jr. President
PWOF
