Arnold was a dedicated husband, father and grandfather. He worked for Longview Fibre Company for 40 years before retiring as a Box Designer.

He loved watching the Green Bay Packers and spending time with his family. He was a big Johnny Cash and Elvis Presley fan and loved to sing along or tap to his favorite music. He and his wife Jane were long-time parishioners of St. Matthias Church.
