He was well known in the community, having worked at Safeway for 36 years. He made many great friends during his lifetime. Arden had a passion for golf, fishing, gambling, and loved football.

Whether he knew you or not, he would make you feel like family. He loved animals and they loved him. He will be remembered for his unrelenting integrity, humor, wildly entertaining stories, and his infectious smile. Arden will be dearly missed by all who had the privilege to be part of his life.
