My family were great friends with the Arbogast family growing up. I don't have many get together memories without them. Arby was a prince among men and a real delight to me in my childhood. He was so funny, happy, joyful and always made me feel so special. But then he was "The cotton candy man". I love him and my memories will keep him alive in my heart forever.
