Add My Condolences

Fix was the first person you stop at our table to welcome us when we moved into Arcadia. He was a true gentleman and a gracious person. His smile and pleasant conversation will be missed . Apple pie and cookies were his passion. His participation in any and all events was a given. He was such a part of Arcadia. Rest in peace our dear friend!!

He especially loved my homemade Christmas cookies..I way so looking forward to his response this year.
God bless him. He was such a nice man. Bill and Vonnie
