He is also survived by many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews who will miss him greatly. He was known as a gentle giant of a man who was kind and generous. He loved to laugh and it brought him great joy to bring laughter to others. He loved to be outdoors in nature and he was passionate about fishing. Many relationships with family and friends were forged and strengthened during fishing trips with Arno. Arno was fortunate to live and work in many different places during his life but some of the best times for him were the years he spent working in Yosemite National Park. He developed lifelong friendships there, was married there, and is a part of many happy memories in the hearts of people who knew him.
