ARNI NORDAL 1938 - 2012 On Saturday evening, August 25, 2012, Arni passed away at Grace Hospital after a short illness. He will be sadly missed by his wife of 43 years, Loretta, and many close friends. Arni worked at Standard Aero for over 40 years as an airplane mechanic and later an inspector. Arni was a real happy go lucky guy and was known for his great sense of humour. I would like to thank the doctors and nurses at CancerCare as well as the staff at Grace Hospital Emergency for their care. An afternoon to remember Arni will be held for family and close friends at Chapel Lawn Funeral Home. Memorial donations may be made in Arni's memory to CancerCare Manitoba.

  • Just read about Arni's death in the computer I don't know if you remember Wayne and I but we bowled with you and it was such great fun. My prayers are with you. Take care. Sharon Gordon. - Posted by: Sharon Gordon (friend and former bowling partner) on: Sep 17, 2012

  • Our condolences Loretta, our prayers go out to you at this difficult time. I have childhood memories of him coming out to Lundar to visit us (Mindy and Florence Nordal) with his parents. We lost contact through the years, but still remember the fun we had as children. God Bless. Bernice - Posted by: Bernice Zanewich (Cousin) on: Aug 31, 2012

  • We are so sorry to hear of Arni's passing. We have some very fond memories of him. We will miss hearing "Arni again?" at the meat draw and him being heckled by the crowd. - Posted by: Harry&Leslie Engen (Freind) on: Aug 31, 2012

  • Loretta, we are all saddened and shocked at Arni's passing. Many of the former Standard Aero employees and the Standard Aero Retirees have been asking about you.

  • Sincere condolences Loretta, my thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. I am deeply saddened by your loss and cherish the memories of the times we spent together. Blessings! - Posted by: Linda Gilmour (Friend) on: Aug 29, 2012

  • My sincere condolences. Although I hadn't seen Arni in many years I would never forget him. When I was about twenty I once ran into Arni at Sals and I was short on cash. I felt comfortable asking him if I could borrow a few dollars and he said how much, without so much as skipping a heartbeat. I made good on that small loan when I got paid shortly after and have never forgotten his unquestionable generosity. My daughter Karley Anderson now works for Standard Aero and I know her work ethic and happy go lucky demeanour somehow reflects that of Arni's. God bless him. - Posted by: Kris Anderson (Helgi's twin brother Heinar's Grandson (My mother is Kay Anderson nee Nordal)) on: Aug 29, 2012
