He was a member of First English Lutheran Church in Appleton. Arly served his country in the US Army where he was a Golden Glove boxer.

Arly had a long career with Boldt Construction. His passion was sports, whether it was playing or umpiring baseball or softball, and bowling. Arlyn played baseball for 32 years and was inducted into the Navarino Rangers Hall of Fame in 2007.
