Left to cherish Arnold’s memory are his wife Alice; children Edgar (Brenda), Robert (Sherri); grandchildren (Ryan and Dylan); brothers Reinhold (Arlene) and Helmut (Lori); sisters-in-law and numerous nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his brother Romuald.
Arnold was born in 1934. He was second of four surviving children. The family immigrated to Winnipeg in 1951 where he met and married the love of his life Alice in 1958.
He took great pride in his family and enjoyed any type of family gathering from special occasions to fishing and mushroom hunting in the woods. Arnold was an avid bowler and participated in many organized leagues over the years.
Arnold was a proud and loyal employee of the Labatt Brewing Company for over thirty years. He was also an enthusiastic member and volunteer with the Deutsche Vereinigung von Winnipeg through much of his adult life and a long-time member of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of the Cross.
The family would like to express its heartfelt appreciation to the staff at St. Boniface Hospital for their compassion during Arnold’s time of need.
