The family moved to Corpus Christi where Arthur graduated from Corpus Christi High School in 1923. He went to work for the Post Office in 1926 and worked there until his retirement in 1961.

He was a longtime member of St. Patrick's Catholic Church and then St. Pius X Catholic Church. Arthur produced a family genealogy before computer research was available.
