Mr. Arms was a member of Cross Roads Baptist Church, where he served as a deacon. He enjoyed both playing and watching the game of golf. The highlight of Mr. Arms life was spending time with his grandchildren. He attended every baseball, softball, basketball, and soccer games, and every dance recital, tennis match, and swim meet that his grandchildren were involved with.
