Arnold was born Nov. 4, 1924 in Elgin, ND. and passed away Sept. 5, 2019 in Bullhead City, AZ. Arnold was a WWII Veteran serving in the US Navy (1942-1946). He is survived by Bobbie Gruszie, his loving wife and best friend for over 60 years. Arnold was the devoted father of six children: Gail Stroh, Gary Abston, Cherry Oliphant (deceased), Guy Abston (deceased), Joy Viviani, and Garrell Abston. He was also a loving grandpa, great grandpa, great/great grandpa, and brother.

After a valiant 23 day effort to stay with us, Arnold succumbed to head injuries sustained in Bullhead City, AZ.

We were blessed to have Arnold here on earth with us for nearly 95 years. Heaven has a new Angel. We will miss him so dearly and our sorrow is deep; but we have faith that we will be joined together again.
