(Taylor) Strohmaier of Louisville, KY., Andrew E. Hogarth of Covington, KY.; Timothy P. Hammer of Cincinnati, OH.; and Matthew P.

Arnie was a member of Loudonville Baptist Temple and taught children in Sunday School and ministered in the GriefShare program. He had a quick wit and enjoyed engaging people with his unique sense of humor. He loved children and became one of them in his playtime with them. He would cheer for his children and grandchildren so loudly that they would be embarrassed. He often waved at strangers which would further embarrass them. He enjoyed entertaining missionaries and visiting the shut-ins. He loved his Lord first of all and loved his wife, children and grandchildren with his whole heart.
