Extremely sad to hear & see

RIP Arlen

He was partners with my old neighbors from Pleasant Hill Ca.
in a Nostalgia FE Dragster (Drag Boats too)
I got to know him pretty well over the years
had many a drinks & talks with him
we weren't close per say
I wish I could have got to know him even better
we shared the same birthday, July 12th
but he was 20 years older than me

He had a great sense of humor too, loved his martini's

One of the founding members of the Hamsters

He was an awesome fabricator
awesome bike builder, awesome innovator
he started out & had a little tiny shop in Brentwood area by Antioch Ca.
to now a huge building & sales shop

he was a great man, great father & grandfather too

I hadn't talked with him in probably 10+ years now
sad I wish I would have now, too many miles apart

Rest In Peace Arlen
you will be missed
