I met Arnie on my first day of work at Life Investors, Sept 7, 1976. It was the Company Presidents birthday and work was dismissed at noon for some "beverages, barbeque, and softball games. Arnie was the pitcher for the team that I got to play with. He made me feel welcome and part of the LI family after only a few hours. We shared many great times over the years: St Paddy's parades, LI conventions, functions at work, many lasting great memories were created. Arnie was indeed one of a kind - they broke the mold when he was created; there could only be one Arnie B. My thoughts are with his family.

One of Life Investors' tag lines was "Like No Other" and that certainly describes Arnie B! I had the pleasure of working with Arnie at LI and he always gave us a laugh. He enjoyed going to Happy Chef after he retired and it was great to see him there from time to time. Rest in peace, Arnie...you will forever be remembered.

Our condolences to Arnie's family and the many friends. He was such compassionate person and was always there to help when needed. We also had the pleasure of working with Arnie at Life Investors many years ago and always enjoyed being around him, and the memories have always be a treasure to us both. God Bless you Arnie...

My sympathies and condolences to Arnie's family. Arnie was our fast pitch softball coach at Life Investors for more years than I can remember. And we had really good teams, thanks to his leadership and devotion (and the talent of the players as well). He had a really great laugh, and was always a joy and a lot of fun to be around, and quick to help a guy out if needed. I will never forget him and the many memories he created for me. Rest in Peace Arnie. You will always be remember fondly by a great deal of people.

Arnie was a great guy to hang around with. I will never forget the Road Trips to Kansas City to see the KC Royals. He was always fun to be around at the good old day Parties at Life Investors . The Beer Parties in the basement and his control over the Beer Kitty :-) May you rest in Peace....

Karla and Andy, please accept my deepest sympathy in the loss of Arnie. He was truly one of a kind and was the spirit of Life Investors. I'll never think of LI without also thinking of him. I'm guessing he's sitting on his cloud with Charlie Stortz and other LI'ers who passed before him enjoying a beer and telling stories. He will definitely be missed.
