Arnold’s love of the land began at an early age learning from his parents. Plowing, combining, ranching and hunting was his life. Having 5 sisters, he would help his dad as much as possible! Tractors, plows, hay equipment, cows, and sheep continued to be his life, that later became the family business.

His hay business not only included Burnet County, but also surrounding counties. During this time, Arnold made friends where he worked, for example the Mezger family became part of his family.

The love of hunting later became a family tradition which he enjoyed with his kids and grandkids. His hunting in Colorado led to him and his family to meet the Virden family. And overtime, they became not only great friends and more like family.

Arnold and Diane were a part of the Church of Christ here in Burnet and Lake Victor, where they raised their children.

Arnold loved spending time with his family, especially hunting and family vacations to Colorado. His love for his grandkids, and great granddaughter meant the world to him, and he loved watching them grow up.
