Arnold “Arnie” Joseph Discher served his family, community, and God in many ways. As the father of Jennifer (Louis); Skip (Laura) and Andrew (Stephanie), Arnie led by example. One of his favorite roles was that of a Boy Scout Leader, serving as a Scoutmaster, member of the Order of the Arrow and most recently working to prepare young men for the Eagle Scout distinction which both of his sons achieved. Arnie, along with Carol, his wife of more than 54 years, were role models for their children and grandchildren (Joseph and Audrey) as they generously and consistently extended a helping hand to others in need of food, transportation, shelter, counsel, humor. Their presence and active participation in school and sports events was a priority and created lasting memories for all. His commitment to helping others and using his God-given talents is evidenced through his service to both St. Patrick and St. Mary Church Parish Councils, as a Eucharistic Minister, member of the Worship Commission, and a 4th degree Knight of Columbus. Arnie also volunteered with Habitat for Humanity, Meals on Wheels, the Democratic Party, and 4-H. As a trumpet player while attending Monroe Catholic Central (1964 graduate), Arnie earned the distinguished John Philip Sousa Award. He delighted crowds when playing with the Ollie North Contra Band as well as playing with the SMCC band as an alum. To Arnie’s family and many friends, the parishioners of St. Mary offer our sympathy. To God we give thanks for Arnie’s faith, service, and care for those in need. May Christ, who served the poor, the lonely and the marginalized, comfort each of you and give you His peace.
