He was born Nov. 13, 1943, in Austin, the son of Walter and Margaret (Wood) Wolff. He attended school in Austin, graduating from Austin High School in 1961. Following graduation, Arnold joined the United States Army, serving from March 26, 1963 until his discharge on Feb. 28, 1969. After his discharge, Arnold moved to Minneapolis, where he worked various jobs. He returned to Austin to care for his mother and operate the Wolff Construction Co. On May 10, 1997, he married Linda (Wencl) Boe in Austin.
