“While we are sad to see Ray go, we are honored that he has spent his career with Arrow and we are still reaping the benefits of his efforts today,” stated Emily Thomas Kendrick, President and CEO for Arrow Exterminators. “He truly played an integral part in building the foundation here and his passion for the industry is known by all who have worked with Ray.  We are very proud to announce the establishment of a scholarship program that will carry on the name of E. Raymond Crim, III, and honor those that have served our country.”
