Arnold "Arnie" J. Nienhaus, age 78 of New London, passed away on Friday, September 19, 2025 at his home with his family by his side. Arnie was born on July 2, 1947 in Appleton to the late Arnold J. and Lillian (Verbeten) Nienhaus. He graduated from New London High School with the Class of 1966.

He worked at Pierce Manufacturing for 42 years. Arnie loved deer hunting and spending quality time on the fishing raft. He was an expert rod and reel repairman. Over the years, Arnie played golf, softball and lots of cards with family and friends. Attending his grandchildren's sporting events was something he enjoyed the most.

Sincere condolences to the families of Arnie. Remember him well as an across the street neighbor. Always that fun-loving little guy, similar to his mother, who was active and on the move all of the time. Best of regards to all - even though a bit late.
