Our condolences to the whole Ronning family, but especially wife Linda, sons Pete & John , brothers: Alan, Oscar and Leif (who I just saw a month ago) in Miles City. That tough Viking heritage made all the Ronnings great friends in our book. Real stand up and be counted people. I wish there were more in the world like Arvid. Many fond memories. I am sorry for missing so much by being so far away for so long. May Arvid rest in peace and God continue to bless all of you. Lionel & Sandy Archdale, Redmond, WA
