Arnold
A native Delawarean, departed this life on May 23, 2009, at the age of 92 years.
A graduate of the University of Delaware, he joined the Army Reserves, serving his country in World War II and post-war Korea as well as teaching military science at Delaware State College. He earned a bronze star as an anti-aircraft artillery officer in the XIII Corps in 1945. He always cherished the time he spent in post-war Korea as especially gratifying for the personal connections he made with the people of that country. He served as an Elder at Red Clay Creek Presbyterian Church and, after retirement, at Westminster Presbyterian Church in Rehoboth Beach. He co-founded Donahue Color Service in the early '60's, was active with the YMCA "Y's Men" and Indian Guide Programs and the Delaware Rose Society. In Rehoboth, he spent his free time serving Meals-On-Wheels and taking pictures for Stockley Center, Beebe Hospital Ladies Auxiliary, Camp Arrowhead, and Special Olympics. He was also active in the Retired Officers' Club of Rehoboth Beach.
Sam was preceded in death by his wife, Elsie, whom he dearly missed, and his sons, Stephen and David. He is survived by his daughter, Rev. Nanese Hawthorne; son and wife, Tim and Becky Arnold; daughter and husband, Perrie and Robert Carrow; 8 grandchildren, and 8 great-grandchildren.
