Statement from the John Arum Family
September 4th, 2010
The family of John Arum would like to express its heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has shared their concern with us during this tragic time. John was a very special person. A wonderful husband, son, brother and friend, John meant so much, to so many. He was so loved and we miss him already.
First, we would like to thank the National Park Service, Chelan Mountain Rescue, Stehekin Community and the King County Sheriff’s Office for its tireless efforts in conducting aerial and ground searches over steep and difficult terrain throughout the week. They refused to give up on their search for John despite the conditions and they were a constant source of comfort and information to us. Their dedication to their mission was awe-inspiring and we will remember them for that forever.
Thank you again.
Love,
The Arum Family

wow is this a boxing or a bereavement site!!!
It is my turn to apologize for incorrectly posting my misgivings about Floyd Mayweather on this rather than the other blog. My condolence to the family. I could only follow what was on the internet. He truly loved mountain-climbing. Rest in peace.
Sorry. This is a comment about Mayweather’s apology. Not about John Arum of which I am also saddened.
Accept apologies of liars at your own risk.
Dear Susan, My heart aches for you. I feel so terribly sad for you and John’s family. Please know I am sending vibrations of love and caring to you during these trying days ahead. Love, Dayna
I went to law school with John, we were in the same section, joined the NLG together; he was one of the few people I really liked in law school, 20 years ago. I regret I did not stay in touch except by phone when we would refer cases. Please let me know when there will be a service, I know this is such a difficult time for you, his family, and there are complications with recovering him. My prayers are with you, his family. John was not just a brilliant lawyer; he was a great spirit who did what he wanted to do. I very much wish to pay my respects to such a remarkable human being. Thank you – Yvonne Ward
