Bob was born in Blair, NE to Clarence and Helen Arnold. He was raised on a farm near Blair and graduated from Blair High School. He farmed before serving six years in the Army, after which he returned to farming. Bob loved building and making and repairing things from nothing. He led the 4-H Boosters Club over 20 years. He went deer hunting "out west" nearly every year with friends and family. Other than family, his greatest moments were when he was working or hunting.

In 1961, Bob married Connie Boatman and to this union, three children were born. In 1964, they moved to a farm near Herman, NE, where he continued to farm until 1991, when he left the farm and moved to the Village of Herman. He resided there until his death on February 26th. Bob never lost his love of farming or hunting and never tired of talking about faming, hunting or his family whenever he found a willing listener. He never knew a stranger. He was a member of First United Methodist Church and the Herman American Legion Post #374.

Bob is survived by his wife, Connie, of 55 years; his son, Mark (Shelley) of Omaha, NE; daughters, Pamela (David) Leistra of Craig, NE and Audrey (Jason) Riley of New Braunfels, TX; 7 grandchildren: Rick and James Arnold, Kevin and Danielle Schinck, and Katelyn, Megan and Lauren Riley. Also surviving is a sister, Janet Loftis of Blair, NE, and many nieces and nephews.
