John J. Arnold Sr. 81 years old of Las Cruces, NM died Friday morning, September 9, 2005 in his sleep. He was born February 3, 1924 in Ames, Iowa to Richard and Myrtle Arnold. He was a resident of Las Cruces for about the last nine years coming from Hobbs, NM. John wasn't well known to the world, but to those who got the opportunity, John was without equal. He was a man of refined tastes who liked his steaks rare and his martinis dry; that liked a good joke and loved a bad one. To put it simply, John Arnold loved life. A love rivaled only by his love for his family. To list the things he's done or the possessions he acquired in his 81 years would be a waste of the page, and a dishonor to the man. His greatest achievement and most cherished treasure were one and the same; and they will miss him dearly. John is survived by his loving wife Marjorie, two sons, John Arnold of Chelin, WA and Jeff Arnold of El Paso, TX. Two daughters, Gay Bridges of Magnolia, TX and Nancy Manka of Superior, MN. Two brothers, Richard Arnold of DeKalb, IA and Robert Page Arnold of Springfield, VA. Cousins, Roy Lehman and Paul Lehman. Six grandchildren, Noah Arnold, Jeffery Arnold, Jennifer Krohn, Amanda Krohn, Oliver Bridges and Oscar Delgado, also survive him. At his request cremation has taken place and a private memorial service will take place at a later date PDF Printable Version
