His family will treasure the memoirs, humorous writings and poetry that he has written over the years. "He was a loving husband, father and grandfather. His grandchildren loved spending time with him and have many fond memories. His grandson said of him, 'He was one of the most interesting people I have known -- if you could get him to talk about himself.' " Mr. Arment was preceded in death by his wife of 58 years, Dorothy Hatch Arment, in August 2003; brothers, Ben and Bob; and sister, Jessie.
