I had the great privilege of being Arg’s pastor from 1987-1993 at 1st Presbyterian Church of Honolulu. He, along with Miriam, were two of the most gracious, generous & holy I’ve ever known. Arg always had a twinkle in his eye & smile on his face. Our loss is heaven’s gain.
For the past 40 years, Arg has been a dear friend and role model. We miss him, but know he is in the arms of Mariam at last
Dr. Bacon was such a kind and warm gentleman who always had a smile. I enjoyed his engaging conversations whenever he came by the clinic.

I will miss my Uncle Arg who, over time, became a dear friend. He was much younger than his two sisters and his brother, close in age to his nieces and nephews back in Indiana where he was born and grew up. It was an unexpected gift to us to find that he still wanted to make that long trip from Hawaii to Indiana after his sisters and brother were gone. He did that long into his 90s.
Typical of Arg, he brought us together by planning dinners out and cooking creative lunches in. And there were always the reciprocal outings, the traditional Coney Island night. His visit was invariably a good time.
Arg was generous, good-humored, always positive. He was compassionate. He deeply appreciated the the ex-patient who might stop him in the mall or on the street to tell Doctor Bacon how well everything has gone since the surgery he’d received.
He was vigorous and energetic. He’d traveled much and loved the finer things of Europe and England, the art, the theatre, the history.
He was a good companion. We are thankful to have had him for a friend.
