Arnie and his wife Renee, a pianist, moved to Ashland five years ago after a nationwide search for the perfect retirement location.They quickly fell in love with Ashland, and the feeling was reciprocated.

His garden and work were featured in a recent tour by the American Association of University Women Garden Club.

A native New Yorker, Arnie was known for his infectious laugh and irrepressible sense of humor. He had a wide circle of friends, not only in Ashland, but also around the country and the world. He delighted in taking guests to his favorite Oregon attractions, including the Shakespeare Festival, Crater Lake, Mt. Ashland and rafting on the Rogue River. Arnie was an avid skier, ice skater, bicycler, runner and hiker, who ran two marathons, and refused to be slowed down by health problems.
Arnie earned a degree at Carnegie Mellon University, served in the United States Navy; and worked for a number of large corporations and contractors before retiring. He helped build some of the nation's most impressive structures.
He died at home, under hospice care, with his wife of 45 years at his side. Shortly before his death, he visited London to see exhibitions of his daughter Lisa's art work, and his son, David, recently climbed a mountain in Yosemite National Park to place a memorial to his father at the peak. He and Arnie had a lifelong father-and-son tradition of skiing and hiking together.
