1
00:00:04.839 --> 00:00:07.160
That morning, Good morning, good
morning, and welcome, welcome, welcome

2
00:00:07.160 --> 00:00:09.839
in time. Now we're our community
connection right here on K one, the

3
00:00:09.919 --> 00:00:13.439
one you trust, and our program
today is being brought to you by Arnold

4
00:00:13.439 --> 00:00:18.559
mourn iCAMP Funeral Home in tall Grass
Motors. Tim Hells with us from Arnled

5
00:00:18.600 --> 00:00:24.719
mourn the Caamp Funeral Home Incremation Service. But we're talking about a very poignant

6
00:00:24.760 --> 00:00:29.440
day that comes up on Monday.
I don't think anyone has to wonder what

7
00:00:29.640 --> 00:00:32.719
nine to eleven is all about.
We all remember it vividly. We all

8
00:00:32.759 --> 00:00:38.399
remember where we were that fateful day. And this is our third year to

9
00:00:38.479 --> 00:00:42.799
offer our first responder luncheon and it
will be served at the funeral home.

10
00:00:42.880 --> 00:00:45.840
We set out tables and have quite
a spread. This is our third year

11
00:00:46.359 --> 00:00:50.679
to partner with Dinks Barbecue, and
I think everybody just pretty much likes Dinks

12
00:00:50.719 --> 00:00:54.840
Barbecue. They yeah. And it
started that way because the first year we

13
00:00:54.920 --> 00:00:59.159
did this, we had everything set
up and then the person that was working

14
00:00:59.280 --> 00:01:03.280
with me had it set up resigned
suddenly and we found out that nothing was

15
00:01:03.319 --> 00:01:07.760
set up. So the good folks
that thinks had three days notice put it

16
00:01:07.799 --> 00:01:11.480
all together for us and we've you
know, we're pretty low. When someone

17
00:01:11.959 --> 00:01:15.280
does a good turn for us,
we stick with them. And indeed,

18
00:01:15.480 --> 00:01:19.159
now this on nine to eleven,
from what eleven to one thirty eleven to

19
00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:23.640
one, eleven to one, we're
going to be serving our first responders and

20
00:01:23.719 --> 00:01:29.000
that includes even the game warden.
Yes this year, because the gals.

21
00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:32.400
Guys run into trouble too. Guys
and gals they do well. And of

22
00:01:32.480 --> 00:01:34.359
course I ran into check Opery though
this if you're coming are and she said,

23
00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:38.239
what's its first respond to you?
You're you're the animal control officer.

24
00:01:38.319 --> 00:01:42.599
You're the first guy I call when
there's a stray dog. So now we

25
00:01:42.719 --> 00:01:45.920
just want to share with everybody who
who puts it on the line for the

26
00:01:45.959 --> 00:01:49.120
community, just our way of giving
back to them. And as a former

27
00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:55.599
dispatcher, I did that during one
of those no compete wait outs. You're

28
00:01:55.640 --> 00:02:00.319
in the business, you know what
I'm talking about. Uh, Those people

29
00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:06.439
who operate the radios and clear the
lines of communication, they're just as vital

30
00:02:06.519 --> 00:02:09.199
as the ones right up there facing
the danger too. Absolutely, And I'll

31
00:02:09.319 --> 00:02:14.479
name one. Tammy Huitt, for
instance, came and picked up for all

32
00:02:14.520 --> 00:02:17.000
the dispatchers last year. And and
we want we want the folks to know

33
00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:21.520
they can do that. I know
the EMTs sometimes they're very busy and don't

34
00:02:21.560 --> 00:02:24.560
have time to and and well all
the first responders are very busy, don't

35
00:02:24.599 --> 00:02:29.599
have time to sit down and enjoy
each other's fellowship. That's the that's the

36
00:02:29.639 --> 00:02:32.159
game plan. But you know,
we keep those little styrofoam boxes so they

37
00:02:32.159 --> 00:02:37.280
can grab them and go and get
back because their job calls for that.

38
00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:39.639
Now, what prompted this idea?
Well, I mean, I mean,

39
00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:45.680
I know that we all remember historically
what happened on nine to eleven and just

40
00:02:45.759 --> 00:02:49.919
the sacrifices a lot of people made. Is this something that just kind of

41
00:02:49.919 --> 00:02:54.400
stuck with you? Well, No, to be perfectly honest, four years

42
00:02:54.439 --> 00:03:00.400
ago, Legacy Funeral Services out of
Houston, Texas purchased seven funeral homes that

43
00:03:00.439 --> 00:03:05.759
were owned by Jack Luganville. And
Michael Soaper is a Houston boy and he's

44
00:03:05.759 --> 00:03:09.680
a very patriotic gentleman, and he
owns about one hundred and sixty two or

45
00:03:09.719 --> 00:03:14.439
so funeral homes, and he says, we want to do something to give

46
00:03:14.479 --> 00:03:19.919
back to the community, and these
these people are on the front lines of

47
00:03:20.439 --> 00:03:24.199
what transpires in the community. I've
worked several different locations with a lot of

48
00:03:24.199 --> 00:03:29.000
these people that were feeding is kind
of interest. But he was the impetus,

49
00:03:29.039 --> 00:03:30.159
you know, he said, I
want all of my places to do

50
00:03:30.199 --> 00:03:34.439
this. We do it, you
know. I think last year we did

51
00:03:34.479 --> 00:03:38.240
it after nine to eleven on nine
twelve, because they had some things planned

52
00:03:38.240 --> 00:03:42.360
that we didn't want to interfere with. We always try to call police,

53
00:03:42.520 --> 00:03:46.400
fire and shareff and make sure we're
not interfering with something they're doing on nine

54
00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:51.159
to eleven. It's kind of nice
to be in a position where one of

55
00:03:51.199 --> 00:03:54.000
the first people I met when I
came to Bartlesville ten years ago was Kevin

56
00:03:54.039 --> 00:04:01.400
Eakleberry. We've shared lunch together at
the Fellowship of Christian Athletes Sterlings and got

57
00:04:01.400 --> 00:04:05.159
to know him and glad to see
him being Chief David Topping. As a

58
00:04:05.199 --> 00:04:11.719
young man, I remember being a
teenager pulling calves with our local veterinarian Curley

59
00:04:11.759 --> 00:04:15.560
Williams and Noah. And now he's
gone on up to be the fire chief

60
00:04:15.600 --> 00:04:20.759
here. And then on the other
side we've got Scott Owens, and Scott

61
00:04:21.120 --> 00:04:25.480
might be as good a fiddle player
as he is a sheriff. And I

62
00:04:25.480 --> 00:04:30.639
always tell people my sheriff can outsing
yours, that's true after they see him

63
00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:34.959
perform. And I went through school
with his wife, so I've known that

64
00:04:35.000 --> 00:04:40.759
family. So it's nice to have
those personal connections. But also to all

65
00:04:41.160 --> 00:04:45.720
the guys and gals that do this, we know we can't thank them enough.

66
00:04:45.759 --> 00:04:47.879
There's just not enough hours in the
day to do that. When my

67
00:04:48.079 --> 00:04:55.199
grandson had to have some brain surgery, they did a fifty fifty pot for

68
00:04:55.279 --> 00:05:00.800
the at the golf tournament at the
police department puts on gave my grandson's family

69
00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:03.720
a thousand dollars to offset bills and
lost wages and things. And just of

70
00:05:03.720 --> 00:05:08.079
course he got to go up to
the police station and shake hands with the

71
00:05:08.120 --> 00:05:11.199
policemen and women and he thought that
was kind of a keen deal and gave

72
00:05:11.279 --> 00:05:14.480
him a badge. And so,
yeah, he has a very good opinion

73
00:05:14.839 --> 00:05:17.000
of police. He's not afraid of
police. He thinks very highly of They're

74
00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:20.240
all his friends. Now, so
very good, very good. Now,

75
00:05:20.279 --> 00:05:23.800
once again, this is coming up
on Monday. It's going to be from

76
00:05:23.800 --> 00:05:27.000
eleven to one, and you're right
there on South doing different right, I

77
00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:30.079
mean downtown, you turn off Adams
and you go south half a block as

78
00:05:30.120 --> 00:05:32.639
the door. Yeah, I mean
you're right there. We have plenty of

79
00:05:32.720 --> 00:05:38.959
parking. It's not unusual to see
the fire trucks and the ambulances pulled on

80
00:05:39.040 --> 00:05:44.120
the sidelot there where they have a
little more room and it we've increased our

81
00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:47.600
attendants every year. We hope to
be feeding a couple of hundred down the

82
00:05:47.680 --> 00:05:53.519
road here. We may have to
switch facilities to do that, but if

83
00:05:53.560 --> 00:05:57.879
we're around the block. They got
a little community center they might help.

84
00:05:56.279 --> 00:06:01.759
It's not are it's not far,
just around the block. But but this

85
00:06:01.879 --> 00:06:04.600
is fun to do. You know. We've got all of our staff talking

86
00:06:04.600 --> 00:06:06.759
about it today. Of course,
we have to go to a funeral at

87
00:06:06.759 --> 00:06:11.240
ten o'clock there. That's what we
do. But you know, all the

88
00:06:11.319 --> 00:06:15.319
staff has got their line items to
take care of before Monday. And I

89
00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:18.600
think I better get online too before
I think you got a football game to

90
00:06:18.680 --> 00:06:20.959
call too, don't you. Well, I'm not doing that this year.

91
00:06:21.120 --> 00:06:28.040
I've stepped away from the microphone this
year. Kevin called me the first year

92
00:06:28.079 --> 00:06:30.160
I came to Bartlesville in twenty thirteen
and said I need a favor, And

93
00:06:30.600 --> 00:06:35.439
for ten years I did that favor
and enjoyed it greatly and just needed a

94
00:06:35.480 --> 00:06:41.519
little time away this year. Got
some grandkids performing in things, and I

95
00:06:41.600 --> 00:06:45.000
understand how that goes. You know, you missed those. You don't get

96
00:06:45.000 --> 00:06:48.360
those back. And Kevin has been
gracious enough to understand. And and Evin's

97
00:06:48.360 --> 00:06:54.199
speaking to me again, So I
think we're all good there. We're gonna

98
00:06:54.240 --> 00:06:57.199
take a break and we're gonna be
back with more with Tim Howell here with

99
00:06:57.480 --> 00:07:00.240
Arnold More and Nikim Fudal home and
of course we're talking about the Yeah,

100
00:07:00.279 --> 00:07:03.279
first responders lunch that's coming up on
Monday. We'll be right back. Is

101
00:07:03.279 --> 00:07:06.199
it time to start thinking about a
new car? But the thought of dealing

102
00:07:06.199 --> 00:07:11.399
with the large dealerships is just too
intimidating, too confusing. There is an

103
00:07:11.399 --> 00:07:15.720
easier way, tall Grass Motors.
Tall Grass Motors doesn't play all the confusing

104
00:07:15.800 --> 00:07:19.959
games a large dealerships play. Tall
Grass Motors has continually been voted Bartlesville's best

105
00:07:20.120 --> 00:07:25.360
Used Car Deer year after year.
Good Bye tall Grass Motors today and enjoyed

106
00:07:25.439 --> 00:07:30.040
looking at over sixty used cars,
trucks and SUVs all price to save you

107
00:07:30.240 --> 00:07:35.720
money. Tall Grass Motors Highway seventy
five North in Bartlesville the first conversation I

108
00:07:35.839 --> 00:07:40.560
have with someone's loved one, I
don't care if it's three o'clock in the

109
00:07:40.639 --> 00:07:45.040
afternoon or three o'clock in the morning. That first conversation is mister X.

110
00:07:45.360 --> 00:07:47.600
This is Tim how with Arnold Moore
and the Camp Funeral Home. First of

111
00:07:47.600 --> 00:07:51.120
all, so let me say I'm
very sorry we're having to have this conversation

112
00:07:51.279 --> 00:07:58.120
right now. And to the nth
degree, those people always appreciate you taking

113
00:07:58.120 --> 00:08:03.120
a moment to just Paul and say
I'm aware that someone you care about very

114
00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:07.519
much has just left you, and
I'm sorry that we have to do this,

115
00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:09.439
but we have to do this.
And if it's three o'clock in the

116
00:08:09.480 --> 00:08:15.160
morning, I try to be brief
but concise and say do you have any

117
00:08:15.279 --> 00:08:18.439
questions or anything I can do for
you right now before we meet at our

118
00:08:18.519 --> 00:08:22.240
arrangement conference. And sometimes I say, you know, can you call my

119
00:08:22.399 --> 00:08:26.360
priest? Can you call my pastor? And I don't mind doing that.

120
00:08:26.439 --> 00:08:30.000
It'll be all right. We'll walk
through this together, Arnold Moore and Knee

121
00:08:30.040 --> 00:08:33.960
Camp Funeral Home, seven ten Dewey, Bartlesville. We will walk through this

122
00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:43.360
together. And walking through this community
connection together with me is Tim Helliman who

123
00:08:43.440 --> 00:08:48.320
starred on the commercial, and we
are talking about Arnold Lauren knee Camp Funeral

124
00:08:48.320 --> 00:08:54.480
Home in the big First Responders Luncheon
coming up on Monday, absolutely eleven am

125
00:08:54.559 --> 00:09:00.000
to one pm. You can stay
in fellowship with all the men and women

126
00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:03.120
that are there, or you can
take to go if if the need arises

127
00:09:03.159 --> 00:09:09.240
to do that. And it's again
being helped out by Dens Barbecue, and

128
00:09:09.279 --> 00:09:13.960
they do a great job bringing everything
we need to set up. And it's

129
00:09:13.960 --> 00:09:16.279
just it's, like I said's grown
each year and we're looking forward to more

130
00:09:16.320 --> 00:09:22.600
growth this year. And we can't
thank these folks enough. This is a

131
00:09:22.759 --> 00:09:26.080
very, very small thank you for
what they do. They do a big

132
00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:30.159
job. You know. When I
was reading the news story, somewhere in

133
00:09:30.200 --> 00:09:35.759
there it said and there will be
a very first responder worthy prize given away

134
00:09:35.799 --> 00:09:37.759
at the event. What do you
have there? Well, this is a

135
00:09:37.840 --> 00:09:41.200
Leatherman raptor emergency shears. You go
back there where we can see it.

136
00:09:41.240 --> 00:09:50.240
May and one lucky member who has
lunch with us that day. We take

137
00:09:50.279 --> 00:09:54.399
all their names that come in and
what organization they're with, and we'll draw

138
00:09:54.440 --> 00:09:58.600
at the end of the day.
Somebody will win this and I'm sure they

139
00:09:58.639 --> 00:10:01.600
have something very much like but hey, you can never have too much.

140
00:10:01.639 --> 00:10:05.720
But oh yeah, just a little
token of our appreciation for one lucky winner

141
00:10:07.519 --> 00:10:09.320
is so cool. And Tom,
I want to say that I have worked

142
00:10:09.519 --> 00:10:16.519
in several different locales and the men
and women that I worked with here in

143
00:10:16.600 --> 00:10:22.720
emergency situations are some of the most
courteous and professional. They do a great

144
00:10:22.799 --> 00:10:28.840
job, and of course our scenes
are about keeping dignity because there's someone who's

145
00:10:28.879 --> 00:10:33.440
deceased. That's the reason I'm there, obviously, And the men and women

146
00:10:33.519 --> 00:10:37.399
on these staffs here, and the
sheriff, fire and police and the e

147
00:10:37.480 --> 00:10:43.919
mts, they just do a fantastic
job, and most do some don't.

148
00:10:43.000 --> 00:10:48.440
But I can tell you what I've
been here ten years and have had very

149
00:10:48.480 --> 00:10:52.799
professional experience. I can't call them
great experiences because of the involved exactly and

150
00:10:54.120 --> 00:10:58.759
the traumas and things, but as
far as the professionalism involved, their groups

151
00:10:58.759 --> 00:11:03.799
here and Bartles were very blessed.
We have a big enough town that we

152
00:11:03.960 --> 00:11:07.320
can have a lot of talent that
can do that, but it's also a

153
00:11:07.360 --> 00:11:11.159
small enough town that we all know
each other back and we treat each other

154
00:11:11.200 --> 00:11:16.440
with respect and in dignity. It's
just a natural courtesy just who we are.

155
00:11:16.600 --> 00:11:18.799
Well, I think it's where we're
from. I think this part of

156
00:11:18.840 --> 00:11:22.679
the country has some of the best
people. In this little four state area,

157
00:11:24.000 --> 00:11:26.159
there's some of the best people in
the world. They treat people with

158
00:11:26.240 --> 00:11:31.320
respect and kindness. They have manners
which is a dying art, and they

159
00:11:31.360 --> 00:11:35.480
come together in a time of tragedy. I think the world saw that when

160
00:11:35.679 --> 00:11:41.279
the Murrow Building was bombed and saw
all of the things that went on with

161
00:11:41.360 --> 00:11:46.120
that, And we just care about
our neighbors here still tell everybody where they

162
00:11:46.120 --> 00:11:50.159
can find you, Tim Well.
They can find us at seven ten South

163
00:11:50.240 --> 00:11:54.559
Dewey Avenue here in Bartlesville. It's
just a half a block off of Adams

164
00:11:54.559 --> 00:11:56.600
Boulevard, which is one of the
main drags. If you will. Our

165
00:11:56.600 --> 00:12:01.000
phone number is three three six five
two five. You can find us online

166
00:12:01.519 --> 00:12:07.960
at www dot Honoring Memories Bartlesville dot
com. You can google Arnold Moore and

167
00:12:07.000 --> 00:12:13.600
we pop up and some most folks
use our website to check out obituaries,

168
00:12:13.600 --> 00:12:16.799
but a lot of them go on
there just to see what we offered.

169
00:12:16.879 --> 00:12:22.919
That talks about resources for grief,
talks about planning your service, and if

170
00:12:22.960 --> 00:12:26.600
I can get on my soapbox for
a moment. I just wish everyone would

171
00:12:26.639 --> 00:12:30.399
take care of their service ahead of
time. It's the nicest thing you can

172
00:12:30.399 --> 00:12:33.720
do for your family. Takes out
a lot of the trying to answer questions,

173
00:12:33.799 --> 00:12:37.840
what would what color cast it?
Would mom want? Would Dad like

174
00:12:39.000 --> 00:12:41.440
wood or metal? As dad wanted
to be creamate or bear? Those days

175
00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:48.440
you're already decided and you can do
it to the point where your kids just

176
00:12:48.519 --> 00:12:50.919
have to say we want at two
o'clock on Friday at our church. Everything

177
00:12:50.919 --> 00:12:54.799
else has been done, and that
I encourage everyone. It's three steps,

178
00:12:56.200 --> 00:12:58.080
write it down, pick it out, tell us how you're gonna pay for

179
00:12:58.120 --> 00:13:01.679
it. There you go, and
you can You can do that in time

180
00:13:01.720 --> 00:13:05.639
as well. You're bet all right, Tim, Thank you very much,

181
00:13:05.919 --> 00:13:07.559
always the pleasure, Donald Moore,
And you can't funeral home with us here,

182
00:13:07.559 --> 00:13:11.279
And don't forget first responders. Lunch
on. Tim
