He married Nell Coffman on April 17, 1970, in Novice. Arnold and Nell traveled all over Texas before settling in Coleman in 1995. He worked as a parts manager for the Chrysler Company for over 40 years. Arnold was a devout member of Elm Street Church of Christ where he was the song leader for many years. He enjoyed fishing, hunting, and the ranch life, which consisted of taking care of his cattle and sheep. Most of all he loved his family. Arnold was a loving husband, father, and grandfather; he will be missed.
