Arnold "Arnie" Bradeen

Calm winds and following seas to a fellow Coast Guardsman⚓️

Arnie, my memories of you make me smile. You were one of the greatest influences on me in the early stages of forming a rock band that became well known in our area. Your attitude and example served as a wonderful inspiration for my own development and self confidence. You were a special friend that stayed in my heart even though we went on to our separate lives. I'm saddened that Joe, Charlie, Bruce, you, and I never formed a reunion of the Volcanoes that we talked about when I last spoke to you. You will be greatly missed, my friend. May the heavens be blessed with the addition of your wonderful sole.
My warmest thoughts go out to Vicky, Everett, Arnie's children and grandchildren.

thank you, Terry.  He talked about a Volcanoes reunion.  I wish you all had.  He thought of you often.  The last few months were long "walks" down memory lane, which made him happy.  Now, I'll have to "walk" alone until I see him again.

Always enjoyed visiting Arnold and seeing his latest invention. He had a kind heart. My sympathy to Vicki and family.

thank you, Deb.  He was inventing right up to the end.

Rest in peace shipmate - a lot of fond memories working together in Boston - condolences to your family.

thank you, Pete.

My sincere condolences to Vickie, Stephie, and the entire family!  Great memories over the years from Woods Hole to South Portland.  Rest in Peace my friend, we have The Watch.  Fair Winds to fill your sails!  

thank you Izzy.  He talked a lot about Woods Hole.  He loved all of you guys.
