A veteran of the Korean War, Les bravely served his country, exemplifying the courage and commitment that he displayed in all aspects of his life. After returning from service, he continued to serve, albeit in different ways. He was a dedicated member of the Choteau Baptist Church, where he found solace and fellowship in his faith. Les was also a proud member of the Gideons, an organization dedicated to distributing Bibles and spreading the Word of God, and the American Legion Post 6, further demonstrating his commitment to community and service.

One of Les's most cherished roles was that of a loving husband to Carol, his devoted partner of 70 years. Their love and partnership served as an inspiring example for their family and the community. Together, they raised a family that was the center of Les's world, demonstrating the importance of strong family bonds.

Les is survived by his beloved wife, Carol, and their three children, Norman, Lyla (married to Mark Armstrong), and Linda (married to Gregg Baker). Les's legacy continues through his five grandchildren: Zach, Sam (married to Mariah), Leslie, Jesse, and Becca. He was also a proud great-grandfather to Lucy, Kohen, Jens, Aksel, and Lily, who brought immense joy into his life. Les's love for his family was immeasurable.

In addition to his family, Les is survived by his brother, Walter Arensmeyer, who shared in his journey through life, offering support, camaraderie, and an unbreakable bond of brotherhood.
