Excerpt from Ric's online Guestbook . . .
Mr. Arbour was and will remain such an inspiration - he was one of my most memorable teachers at Denis O'Connor CHS. Thanks to his encouragement I was able to start believing in myself and my abilities. His love of music was contagious as healso got me and my friends to join the school choir. He will be missed. ~ Kathy Zielinski Kozlowicz
