He also served 13 years as head wrestling coach. “Arnie’s coaching and teaching touched the lives of hundreds of students and athletes, including those who went on to play college and professional football and those who went on to coach,” according to his family. He retired in 1989 and in 1997 was named Vale Citizen of the Year.
