Arvid R. Fleischer, 73, of Munger, MN, passed away on Friday, August 17, 2018 at Essentia Health Medical Center with his wife and kids by his side.
Arvid was born in Brainerd, MN on September 5, 1944 to Ralph and Arvilla Fleischer. He graduated from Proctor High School in 1963. Immediately after high school, Arvid joined the Marines and proudly served for four years. Leaving the Service, a Vietnam Veteran, he began working in the Duluth grain elevators.

They were married November 24, 1973. He loved spending time with his family, travelling to Laughlin, NV, watching Vikings football, going to casinos, and enjoying the outdoors.
Arvid was preceded in death by his parents; sisters, Cora Fleischer and Joyce Shovein; father-in-law, Eugene St. Marie; and brother-in-law, Bruce Shovein.
Arvid is survived by his loving wife of 44 years, Brenda (St. Marie); son, Brian of Andover, MN; daughter, Christina (Michelle Mucha) of Champlin, MN; gradchildren, Grayson and Emmett; mother-in-law, Adeline St. Marie; several other close relatives; and his faithful cat, Buggs.
