ARNOLD'S OBITUARY
U.S. Veteran
Arnold Pfeifer, 94, Minot, died Friday, December 4, 2020
in a Velva Care Center.
Arnold was born September 19, 1926 in Pickardville, ND to
Jacob and Freida (Maier) Pfeifer. He spent most of his
formative years in the Mercer area, attending country
schools in a number of townships as family moved to make
ends meet. Arnold assisted his family with the operation
of the farm as a youth until he moved with his family to
Washington State. He was employed as a ship welder until
his family moved to Montana.
Arnold was drafted into the US Army December 26, 1945. He
served honorably and was discharged from active duty at
Fort Lewis, WA on July 22, 1947. He returned to the
prairie of North Dakota as a farm hand for his family.
Arnold was united in marriage to Lorraine Just January 13,
1950. They called Bismarck home for the first four years
of marriage. He found employment with Capital Electric.
They lived in Towner, ND for a couple of years until
moving to Minot in 1957, when Arnold began his career with
Souris River Telephone. He would spend the next 31 years
with the company, retiring in 1988. Lorraine died October
10, 2014.
Arnold was a member of the American Legion and VFW in
Minot and Bottineau, ND. He valued the time spent at their
lake home on Lake Metigoshe over the years with family and
friends. He enjoyed the outdoor venues of North Dakota
while fishing, camping and deer hunting. A round of golf
was also part of his pastimes, but all took a back seat to
the time spent with family. He will be missed by those
blessed to share in his life.
