He enjoyed many hobbies, such as golfing, fishing, working in his yard, puttering in his workshop & traveling. He absolutely loved and treasured each moment with his 8 precious grandchildren. He loved spending as much time as possible at the family's rustic cabin, RAZAHABA, in the beautiful north woods of Michigan. He and his family spent every summer there making sweet memories. He always said that the cabin & north woods are as close as you could get to heaven! Arnold loved his family & friends dearly and he made sure they knew that every day. He never met a stranger, was always there when people needed him, generous, kind & always smiling…what a precious example of God’s love!
