He had an awesome sense of humor, he enjoyed and loved his family and was fun, loving, and hardworking, but never had a problem speaking his mind. California became his home base because of the weather, atmosphere, and the star gazing. Arnold shared many stories about the California scene.

Every time the discussion came up about him moving back home, he was quick to say, “He wasn’t leaving his cats”. David Arnold rededicated his life to the Lord and never looked back!
