ARNIE MILNE
Arnie was born December 23, 1954 in San Felipe, Venezuela where his Irish born parents were working as missionaries at the time. He moved back to Ireland in his early teens to finish his schooling, and then travelled from Belfast, Ireland to Vancouver, British Columbia in January 1975 with the intent of visiting his brother Ashley for a year or so and heading back home. Instead, in November of the same year, he met his wife Pat and the rest, as they say, is history. They married December 1977, moved to Manitoba in September 1982, and welcomed their daughter Heather in September 1985. Arnie worked his way up through the ranks of Carlson Engineered Composites, culminating in the position of Vice President of Business Development and partner in the company. He retired May 2018 and got right to work again - travelling, barbequeing, camping, and, most importantly to Arnie, spending as much time as humanly possible with his family and friends.
Arnie made friends easily and readily; if you knew him, you loved him. He was kind, generous, and always the first person to make others feel at ease. He had a life well lived that was spent continuously making friends, tackling every adventure and opportunity that came his way, working hard and, most importantly, not just loving, but being love.
Arnie is survived and celebrated by his wife Pat, his daughter Heather (Steve), his brother Ashley, his brother-in-law Alan, his sister-in-law Colleen, his brother-in-law Peter, plus countless nieces, nephews, extended family, and friends.
We would like to thank the incredible staff at Health Sciences Centre for their skill and kindness.
A funeral service will be held at 3:00 p.m. on Friday, December 13, 2019, at Glen Lawn Funeral Home, 455 Lagimodière Blvd., Winnipeg, MB.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Health Sciences Centre Foundation, Salvation Army or Siloam Mission.

We, the Irish side of the Jennings/Milne family connection, extend our most sincere condolences to Arnot’s dear wife and daughter. Arnot was so kind to our late mother, Adelaide Jennings, nee Milne, sending her greetings and encouragements during her later years. We do trust that his immediate family will find comfort in the words of the Saviour and Author of the Holy Scriptures, Who said, “I am the resurrection and the life: he that believes in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live” (Gospel of John (Bible) 11:25.

Pat, my heart is breaking for you and your family. In your grief I hope your precious memories of Arnie keep you strong to carry on and to comfort you throughout this difficult time. Deepest condolences to all of you and big hugs to you and Heather and your family. Love and prayers. Heather Glaser - Posted by: Heather Glaser (Friend of Pat) on: Dec 12, 2019

Our deepest sympathy to his wife, daughter and the family circle.We only met him briefly at the funeral of one of his parents here in Northern Ireland. We knew his parents, his brother Ashley, uncles, aunts and many cousins on the Milne side of the family. The Milne's are the salt of earth. Looking at Arnot we can see the same character shining out. We did not know him well on earth but we are glad we shall meet him again for he is with Christ which is far better. Leslie & Ruth Ward - Posted by: Leslie Ward (Friend of Ashley) on: Dec 12, 2019

My heartfelt sympathies to you and your family, Pat. Arnie sounded like a wonderful man and it's tragic that he was taken from you so soon after retirement. I hope your many fond memories of your time together will help to ease the pain and that they will give you joy and comfort in all the years to come. - Posted by: Les Moor (colleague of Pat) on: Dec 12, 2019

Dad, what can I say that I haven't already told you a million times? If kindness was a person, it would be you. I have yet to meet another person who was able to connect with such a wide array of people so very easily- I knew that even if you were heading into a situation where you didn't know a soul that you wouldn't have an inch of trouble jumping into a conversation and leaving with a new acquaintance (or five). The dedication and hard work you put into everything you did always left me in awe. There wasn't a problem or project that you were afraid to tackle. I knew without a doubt in my mind that if I was having an issue with something in my house that needed fixing or if there was an problem I was having at work that you would either have the answer or would help me work through it until we found the answer. You were SO funny. And you thought I was funny. Actually, you're one of very few people that found me funny. I'll miss us cracking up at the same things while Mom and Steve gave us looks that said we were so clearly nuts. Every now and then if you wouldn't mind getting in their ears and telling them why our jokes were great. I would really appreciate it. Thank you for showing me what love is and what it looks like in action. Your incredible relationship with Mama Pat has always stood out to me as what I wanted my eventual marriage to look like. You have a love for the ages and I was so lucky to get to witness it so closely. This week has been the hardest, Dad. The world is just a little darker and a whole lot less fun without you. I can't wait to see you again, but in the meantime, I'm going to keep an ear out just in case there's anything you want to say before that day comes. I love you. - Posted by: Heather Milne (Daughter) on: Dec 12, 2019
