Arnie was affectionately known as the "Can Man" as he made his rounds at Citizen
Park during baseball season. He'd collect all the cans to be crushed and recycled
the next day. He loved feeding the birds, rabbits, and squirrels that made his
back yard their home. His first love was playing sheepshead!! Dad, we hope you
find your card playing buddies up there. We love you and will miss you.
