Arnie worked as an oilfield chemist and as an estimator for R.C. Willey for many years. Some of his best times were spent as the Santa for R.C. Willey and at Christmas parties. He was known for his amazing Santa suit, real Santa beard and love for the children who visited him. Arnie was a happy, funny person loved by all who knew him.
