He was predeceased by his brother Romuald. Arnold was born in 1934. He was second of four surviving children. The family immigrated to Winnipeg in 1951 where he met and married the love of his life Alice in 1958. He took great pride in his family and enjoyed any type of family gathering, from special occasions to fishing and mushroom hunting in the woods. Arnold was an avid bowler and participated in many organized leagues over the years. Arnold was a proud and loyal employee of the Labatt Brewing Company for over thirty years. He was also an enthusiastic member and volunteer with the Deutsche Vereinigung von Winnipeg through much of his adult life and a long-time member of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of the Cross. The family would like to express its heartfelt appreciation to the staff at St. Boniface Hospital for their compassion during Arnold's time of need.

Forwarded by Caroline: "Wir erinnern uns gerne an Arnold und seine Frau. Mit Karl zusammen waren wir Pilze sammeln. Ich glaube, wir sind damals 150 km weit gefahren und haben riesengroße Pfifferlinge gefunden. Und Karl seinen Wein haben wir beim Picknick getrunken. Es war immer eine schöne Zeit bei euch in Canada. Bitte gebe an Alice unser Beileid weiter, wenn Du Gelegenheit dazu hast." - Posted by: Christel u. Dieter Esser (Cousin) on: Apr 11, 2018

Dear Alice and Family, We share your loss. I have fond memories of chit-chatting with you and Arnold at various extended Schmidtke family gatherings. Also it was a pleasure to work with Arnold at the Labatt's plant during my 3 months of student summer employment circa 1975. Arnold briefed me on some of the plant perks...example - " We don't drink coffee at coffee breaks - it's Labatt's Blue !!! " To this day, BLUE is still my go to beer. Arnold - RIP. - Posted by: George and Svitlana Schmidtke (cousin) on: Apr 09, 2018

Dear Alice and family, I am sad to hear of Arnold’s death. I have warm memories of you both during my time at Lutheran Church of the Cross and of your faithfulness in worshipping regularly. I can see you in your favourite pew on the pulpit side in the sanctuary and I will forever appreciate your support and encouragement. God is with you as you grieve. We have God’s promise through Jesus that not even death will separate Erwin from God’s love and grace. Peace be with you.
