Arnold retired from working as a heavy-duty mechanic. He worked in a variety of places such as the mines in Merritt, different shops in the Vancouver area such as BC Sugar and Wajax in Calgary.
Arnold loved to cook and entertain friends and family. He was very artistic and loved to paint pictures, do photography, carpentry, and was currently restoring his 1946 Ford truck. Arnold was a very friendly, outgoing, caring person. He would help anyone who needed something repaired, or an odd job done. He got to know everyone in the neighbourhood while walking his little dog, Missy.
Arnold will be dearly missed by his family, friends, neighours, and dog, Missy.
