He was well known in the community, playing both hockey and baseball. He will be sadly missed by all who knew him. He loved his family and all his great friends.
Arnold was a die-hard fan of the Montreal Canadiens, and everyone was a plumber.

Also left to mourn are his sister Helen, brother Johnny (Jackie), and special nieces and nephews Jean, Alex, Paddy and Alesia, mother-in-law Petronellie Verschuren, and several brothers and sisters-in-law. He will be sadly missed by his best bud Jake.
