Upon his honorable discharge, he married his sweetheart Theresa McAteer and the couple settled in River Edge NJ to raise four children of their own. Being a product of the greatest generation, Arnie worked hard to provide a beautiful life for his family. He was with the “Telephone Company” for many years, a job which he greatly enjoyed. He was the best Dad and Grandpa we could ask for. Some of his happiest times were at Tabor Lake where everyone is “family”. He was very active in the lake community being beach manager and starting every race on Childrens’ Day. Arnie was a true family man. He adored his wife and cherished his children, grandchildren and extended family. He was so very proud of all the kids and their accomplishments. Although we are saddened by his passing, we take comfort in knowing he is watching over this family with love and is with Kenny again.
