He was a member of the Gideons, and helped with Bible distributions. He was a faithful member of Swedish Covenant Church, in Schaumburg; where he loved singing in the Choir. Arnie loved his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. His hobbies were an avid fisherman, diehard Cubs fan, scratch golfer, and bowler.

Singing to his family and his church friends in Swedish brought him much happiness. Arnie brought much joy with his soft twinkle and thoughtful approach to everyone he met.
