Arb enjoyed a life time of camping, fishing and hunting with his long time friends, traveling and cruising.
Arb and Nyla enjoyed thier summers in Juniper Ridge, Arizona and valued the friendships. If you needed something fixed Arb was your man. He loved life, his family and if he gave you a nickname that was a badge of honor.

Arb was larger then life, he touched so many lives with his wicked sense of humor and honesty. His life and legacy to his family and friends was a life lived well and loved by many...Good Job
