What a wonderful man! I'll never forget his comment when Melinda was born. She was 7lbs 15.5ozs, and Uncle Hiram's comment as to why she wasn't 8lbs......"She must have just tinkled."

Dr. Arnold was a very kind man, and he was a humble man. My thoughts are with Mrs. Arnold.

I give thanks for Dr. Arnold, as he was a blessing to me and my husband when he performed a procedure to help me become pregnant in 1964. He was so encouraging and positive with his caring spirit. We have our wonderful 43 year-old son to prove his expertise in gynecology and obstetrics. My God bless your hearts at this time.

I've known Dr. Arnold for several years through his forestry connections. He was a fine man, and I highly respected him. Your family will be in my prayers.

Celebrating a life well lived. We will cherish the memories forever.

The Great Cookie Caper Revealed:

About fifty years ago, the Arnold family traveled to Moonlight Farms with a few neighborhood kids-me included. Doc stopped at a small grocery store in Rosharon to buy picnic supplies. Gloria did most of the shopping while Doc stood patiently at the check-out counter.

Dr. Arnold took care of me through three pregnancies in the '60's and delivered two of my beautiful daughters. The other one decided to come on his weekend off and was delivered by Dr. Knight. He had such a wonderful bedside manner. He made me feel like I was his only patient and the only woman to ever have a baby. I traveled about 60 miles round trip to see him because he was so special. He continued to be my GYN until his retirement. I will never forget him.

To Mrs. Arnold and family,
Mitzie just notified me about Dr. Arnold's death. He was such a great physician and person. As a young pregnant gal over fifty years ago, he made me instantly at ease and took such wonderful care of me through two pregnancies. As a result, I had two wondrful daughters who have given me four great grandchildren.
My greatest sympathies to you all,
Pat Verner
Mitzie Norman's sister

Dr. Arnold was one of the most caring physicians we had the privilege of knowing in the '60's. We offer our condolences at this time and also celebrate his life of service to several communites and to the apparent love of family.

Dr Arnold was my Gyn and then my OB, delivering all four of our children at Methodist. Our first born son was full term, but sadly did not survive. When Dr. Arnold had to tell us of our loss, he cried with us. This is only one example of his compassion to...
