John Arnold Obituary

John David Arnold, M.D., was born in Bradford, Ohio on May 4th, 1922. John attended medical school at the University of Chicago. He then went into the Army's Medical Research Program. In 1953, John was awarded the Legion of Merit for the development of Primaquine for treating Malaria. John eventually began his own independent laboratory where he continued his research. His last contribution was the development of Vicoprofen currently in use today. He is survived by his loving wife of 46 years, Lois Arnold, and children David Arnold, Christina Redmon, Whitney Giller and granddaughter Gwyneth Giller. The family would like to thank the Arizona Hospice who took loving care of him during his last days. A Memorial Service will be held on Saturday, June 30th at 2:00 P.M. at Messinger Pinnacle Peak Mortuary, 8555 E. Pinnacle Peak Rd., Scottsdale.

Mrs. Arnold and children:
I am saddened to hear of Dr. Arnold's passing. I always thought he was a brilliant man who gave so much to the medical field. I enjoyed working at Quincy Research Center and learning from Dr. Arnold about medical research and the process that medicine went through.

You are in my thoughts and prayers,

I guess you had to settle on the first and the last of Dr. Arnold's accomplishments because otherwise the list would have been way too long. I've thought about all of you over the years since the days of Quincy Research Center. I wish you some peace.
