He was predeceased by his father Andreas (1956), mother Elsa (1999), and brother Odd (2000). Arne and his family emigrated from Norway in 1957 and settled in Sioux Lookout, ON where he began work as an aircraft mechanic with Transair Ltd. In 1961 the family relocated to Winnipeg where he continued his career with the airline as it changed to Transair/Mid-West, Pacific Western and Canadian Airlines. He retired in 1982 as Chief Inspector. Following retirement Arne enjoyed the time that he spent in Nanaimo, BC, Yuma, AZ, and especially at his cottage at Hillside Beach. At Arnes request cremation has taken place, and a private family service has been held. The family would like to thank Dr. Kirk and Dr. Crawford and all the staff, especially nurses, Cheryl and Helen, of 3 East Riverview Health Centre, for their wonderful care and compassion. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Arnes memory to the Palliative Care Unit in care of the Riverview Health Centre Foundation, 1 Morley Ave., Winnipeg, MB R3L 2P4.
