I will never forget all the good times spent with the Squire family here in Santa Barbara. Playing in the nightly family volleyball games. The summer outings at the beach. The weekend sailing trip to the Channel Islands that Ari & Morrie took my Dad & I on. The many parties at the beautiful home here. It was a wonderful surprise when Morrie & Ari payed me a visit here in Santa Barbara a while back. Morrie, Sammy & Shana you guys always made me feel like part of your family & I really appreciate that. I will always love & care about all of you. Ari you will be missed old buddy. God bless you all.

I know this is a little on the late side because I just heard the news. I am truly sorry for your loss. I recall Ari being such a happy individual and the news was shocking. I had lost touch years ago, but thought of him often. He will always be in my heart and he had a significant impact in my life. My prayers and thoughts are with his beloved family. Rest in Peace Ari, with much love the Fogel Family.

Dear Squire Family,
Ari was my husband's and my bowling partner a number of years back and my husband use to go to his house sometimes to play computer games. We will always remember the wonderful impressions he left on our lives. He was a warm and caring soul when we knew him and we felt honored to have him as a friend. We are so sad that there had to be such a tragic end so early in his life. Our heartfelt condolences go out to you and may Ari and his family find peace.

It has been a number of years since I last saw Ari but his impact on my life and our relationship will always be cherished. In my professional career I have rarely had the support and encouragment at the level of Ari's enormous capacity for trust and understanding. He was a young man of exceptional depth, compassion and joy. I am devastated at his loss at such an early moment when his full potential had as yet to be achieved. His contribution was significant and his potential was great. I thoroughly enjoyed the warmth of the relationship we had for several years. My deepest condolences to each member of his family. His life truly was a celebration and he will be missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.

Dear Morris, and all of the friends and family and loved ones known to Ari,

So sorry to hear of your suffering and heartache, and extending my love to you.

The Squire family's support of Moishe House London has given us the opportunity to create a family of friends and I feel that someone is lost from that circle, even though I never met him.

You are in my thoughts.

Denise,
I cannot tell you how shocked I was to hear of Ari's passing. It has been a few years since we played paintball together but all of the former players on our team still remember like it was yesterday. Ari was the most kind, spirited, and giving person ever. He would do whatever he could for anyone without hesitation at any time. We all had some great times at the house in Wonder Lake for Ari's annual picnic gathering as well as competing on the paintball field. The world was a better place because Ari Squire was here and I will miss him.

i came across ari's obituary quite by accident and was shocked! i worked with ari, closely, about 7yrs ago and was very fond of this quiet, generous, kind, gentle man, who only wanted to do construction work , which he was not doing when we worked together. ari was a kind, caring, generous, very likeable man. i am shocked to learn of his death and SO saddened.
my sincere condolences to his family members and friends.
