Arlo was born on March 18, 1927 on his family’s farm south of Schleswig, IA, and was the son of Adolph and Amanda (Stockfleth) Jochims.   When he was five years old, his family moved to a farm seven miles northwest of Denison.  Pappy as he was affectionately known to most, attended Zion Lutheran School until the 8 ^th grade and then graduated from Denison High School in 1944.  Following high school, he enlisted in the United States Navy in April of 1944 and served until July of 1946 stationed in Chicago and California.  He was married to Barbara Brockman in 1947.  To this union were born two children: Jeff and Jacqueline “Jackie”.  The couple made their home in Denison and Atlantic before moving to Carroll in 1948.  They later divorced.  Pappy worked for the Farner-Bocken Company for 40 years.  He was a member of St. Paul Lutheran Church and the Carroll American Legion.  Pappy enjoyed bowling, playing golf, taking care of his duplex, and going for long walks with his dogs.  He also enjoyed going on trips to California to visit his daughter.

Pappy is survived by his children and their families: Jackie Jochims of West Covina, CA, and Jeff Jochims (Melissa) of West Des Moines; three grandchildren: Jennifer Ried (Jake) of Cumming, IA, Jayme Buck of Des Moines, and Josiah Jochims of West Des Moines; six great grandchildren: Makaila, Lillian, Nevaeh, Landon, Abel, and Alyvia; and several nieces and nephews.
