Arvid Reimann, 81,

longtime Minot area pho-

tographer and formerly of

Velva, died on Sunday,

December 13, 2020 in a

Bismarck hospital.

Arvid Eldys Reimann

was born on November 5,

1939 in Garrison, ND to

John and JoHannah

(Steinwand) Reimann. He

was raised on a farm in

the valley of the Missouri

River until their farm was

flooded due to the Garris-

on Dam and the family

moved to Velva. Arvid at-

tended school in Velva

and graduated from Velva

High School in 1957. He

enlisted in the United

States Marine Corps in

1958 and served until his

honorable discharge in

1961. He returned to

Minot where he was em-

ployed at Lowe and Lar-

son Printing.

Arvid married Marilynn

Lochthowe on October 17,

1970 in Missoula, MT.

They made their home in

Minot where he contin-

ued with Lowe and Lar-

son Printing and was a

part time photographer.

He always appreciated

Lowe and Larson Printing

for letting him always do

what he needed while tak-

ing pictures at Minot State

University. Arvid and

Marilynn switched to full

time photography, open-

ing Reimann Photography

in 1976 and worked to-

gether in photography un-

til 2005 when they re-

tired. During his retire-

ment he worked part time

at Target and kept busy

working in his garden and

yard.

Arvid was a member of

Our Redeemer’s Church –

Minot and served as the

President of the North

Dakota Professional Pho-

tographers Association.

He enjoyed gardening and

yard work, travel (espe-

cially to Puerto Vallarta,

Mexico) and spending

time with his family and

pets. He will be remem-

bered as the man who

often got the life story

from each person he met,

and he enjoyed the chal-

lenge of becoming a friend

to everyone he met and

worked with. He often

said he was a farm boy at

heart.
