Decorah, IA 52101 Paul Kenneth Arneson was born to Martin and Nora (Grindeland) Arneson on April 23, 1923 on his parent’s farm in Ryder, North Dakota. He was baptized in Ryder, ND and confirmed at Big Canoe Lutheran Church on June 27, 1937 where he was a life-long member. Paul attended the Sattre Country School #8 and graduated from Decorah High School with the class of 1942. After he graduated, he worked at the Highlandville General Store for awhile and then spent a fall season in North Dakota as a hired help during thrashing time. He enjoyed the work but didn’t enjoy sleeping in the very cold barns at night. Paul served in the Army from May 25, 1944 to April 21, 1946. He was a member of Company A 325th Glider Infantry 82nd Airborne Division. He received a Rifle Marksmanship award and Glider badge. He also received the World War II Victory medal, American Theatre Ribbon, Good Conduct medal, Middle Eastern Theatre Ribbon with 1 Bronze Star, and the European African 1 Overseas bar. His rank at time of discharge was Private First Class. At the end of World War II, Paul marched in the ticker tape parade in New York City and another parade in Washington DC. Paul was also able to participate in the Freedom Honor Flight on September 22, 2012. He enjoyed flying to Washington DC and seeing all the memorials but his favorite part about the trip was the flight out and back. He LOVED flying and was so tickled that he was able to fly again. Paul was united in marriage to Bernice Berge on May 16, 1951 at Big Canoe Lutheran Church in rural Decorah. To this union four children were born: Lois, Nancy, Thomas and Diane. After Paul and Bernice got married, they raised their children and made their living as dairy farmers on the family farm until they retired. Paul grew up on the family farm near Sattre. He loved being on the farm and working in the fields. Paul and his brothers enjoyed spending a lot of time together; there are quite a few stories about their mischievous adventures. Paul especially loved horses. He enjoyed riding them, going on trail rides, and driving them in the fields. He also had several dogs over the years; all of which were spoiled very well. He had a soft spot for all his kids, grandkids and great grandkids. He loved to tease them and make them laugh. Paul is survived by his wife Bernice, three daughters: Lois (Larry) Martin, Scottsdale, AZ; Nancy Jensen, Urbandale, IA; and Diane (Michael) Paradise, Rochester, MN. One son: Thomas Arneson, Decorah, IA.
