From the obituary:
Arno never forgot his Swiss heritage. He was an integral member of the Swiss Club Toronto volunteering as President of the Men’s Section and Canadysli Band. This earned him awards from the Swiss community including Swiss Citizen of the Year and Longest Personal Member of the Swiss Canadian Chamber of Commerce.
Arno always wanted to play the drum, but it was only when he joined Canadysli in Toronto that he learned. He looked forward to each practice, and annual Morgestraich, Fasnacht Ball and First of August Celebration with bandmates and fans. Arno could always be seen with a big smile playing his Drummle and selling Fasnacht buttons. Arno organized tours and events for the Men’s Section and kept the signature weekly Kaffi Klatsch (social gathering for coffee and conversation) running even through COVID.
Celebration of Life plans are underway.
