In November 1942 Arthur began his service in the United States Army. He served his country honorably during WWII while with the 103rd Infantry serving in the European Theater and receiving several awards and accommodations for his service.

Upon returning home, Arthur met the love of his life, Virginia at a local roller rink. They enjoyed 58 wonderful years together before her passing. He later began working as a Radiology Technician for the University of Michigan. He proudly worked for them for over 30 years before retiring.
