About 2001 he began working at Transwest Securities he was a security officer and worked all the way up to a supervisor position until he had some health concerns and had to resign and went back to being a security officer.
When Arnold was not working, he spent many hours with his son Buddy. They were always up to something whether it be fixing cars and trucks or RC Cars and Go Carts they were always doing something. He had a love for working with his hands and was never afraid to get dirty. He loved spending time with his grandchildren, going to the beach was his favorite thing to do with them. Arnold also had a coin collection that he was extremely proud of. He enjoyed the outdoors and was always up for a camping trip to fish and spend time with the people he loved the most.
A piece of us went with him the day Christ called him home. He will be greatly missed.
