Almaguer Familia words can't express the void in my heart. Arnie was our "adopted Brother"and a part of my familia for over 26 years and he will be missed,the jokes, the smiles the words of kindness he always shared will remain with me until we meet again in heaven.I was blessed to have had a couple of laughs the weekend before he went to heaven and I will be forever grateful for that time. Thank you for sharing your son and brother with not only myself but my familia. His amazing accordion skills will be missed. His music will live on through all those he encouraged including my son and numerous nephews and nieces. I will stick to the playing spoons as he would joke...May God guide you all through this difficult time.
