Sorry to hear of Arvey’s passing. I have dealt with Arvey so much over the years in the Hvac industry. It was always a pleasure to talk hvac with him and to hear stories he would share. He will surely be missed ! May god give you peace during this time.
I have known Arvey for over 30 years. He was a good man and helped many others during his life. May our Lord bless and comfort the family during this time of loss. Please accept my sincere condolences.

With sincere sympathy. I remember Arvey working at Carolina Telephone with Glenn Thompson. They were always taking care of our maintenance needs.
Arvey, we are sad to lose you but we wouldn’t keep you a minute from the presence of your Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! We will miss your kind heart, strong and able hands and quick smile. You packed a lot of living, loving and helping others into your life. We sure wish that you were 83 or 93 instead of 73 when you left us, but we are grateful we knew you these last 10 years and we join the throng of earthly folks who say goodbye and the hosts of Heaven who exclaim with your Father God, Welcome faithful servant and kind-hearted one, enjoy your eternal reward! With Love and many thanks, Budd and Meg Dingwall
