Born in Peckville, PA, son of the late John and Catherine (Collum) Arzie, he attended school in Blakely, prior to enlisting in the US Navy in 1965, where he served for 4 years. He loved his Country.

Following retirement, he and his second wife, Judy, moved to their ‘vacation land’, on the shores of Lake Ontario. There, he built and ran the Selkirk Shores Country Store, loved to fish with his family and friends, and enjoyed many years of fun on the trails of the Pulaski-Boylston Snowmobile Club, of which he was an active member for many years.
