From Arnie's brother Warren

Arnold J. Webber and the story of the many strong and wonderful animals:

In Ogden, Utah, late fifties, the days of “howdie Doodie and Buffalo Bob”. For those unacquainted with the subject, refer to “Raiders of the Lost Ark #4, created town just before the bomb exploded. That was our extent of entertainment, unless we made it up ourselves. And we did too. We were really talented in making up our own fun. Your father was the best,” Cops and Gadianton Robbers”, “cowboys and Lamanites”, and of course the “ mighty animals”. One of our favorite games was wagon train. Someone had given my mother a red wagon to use while she would make her monthly run to the commodities center to pick up her cheese and powdered milk, and whatever was available. When not being used for that purpose Christine, Harry and I would load into the back of the wagon and your father would be the oxen and pull us around the block, I was always amazed at the strength of such a young boy. We loved him and we were very proud of him for the things he was so good at, like map-making, and the knowledge of history, He made the best grizzly bear, and buffalo, complete with sound. He was always a great lover of the Native Americans.

He was an amazing man, I love him very much and always will. As soon as he reached the other side you know Heavenly Father put him to work right away. We have his example of Genealogy second only maybe to your mother.
