Charles Arnold Obituary
Charlie is survived by his brother Richard Arnold; Charlie's children and their spouses; daughter Emily and husband Piper Wrigley, sons Timothy Arnold and wife Leslie, Kevin Arnold and wife Nancy, John Arnold and wife Becky, Patrick Arnold and wife Linda, and son Phillip Arnold; stepdaughter Linda Ratcliff and husband Mike and stepson Larry Plunkett. Charlie also leaves a "dynasty" of grandchildren: David Flynn, Steven Flynn, Jason Arnold, Dawn Arnold Nichols, Erik Arnold, Matthew Arnold, Anthony Arnold, Stephanie Shade, Ian Arnold, Darrin Arnold, Byron Arnold, Sarah Arnold and step-grandchildren John and Ann. Also in this "dynasty" are now eight great grandchildren: Timothy Anstead, Jeremy Ledbetter, Zachary Ledbetter, Madison Flynn, Gabriel Flynn, Hannah Flynn, Andrew Nichols, and Donovan Shade; two great-great grandchildren; Abel Ledbetter and Asher Anstead: and also many nieces and nephews.
Charlie had many special friends over his long life but none more so than Pam and Chuck Harding, who have both done so much to care for him since Betty's passing, for which the family is forever grateful and thankful.
The family also thanks Crossroads Hospice for their care of our father in his last days and those special caretakers at Foxwood Springs, too many to list, that helped him along the way.
The family requests that in lieu of flowers, please make a donation to either St. Sabina Catholic Church in Belton, MO or to a charity of your choice.

I first met "Charlie", as I called him, at Foxwood Springs when he brought his wife Betty to the beauty shop. He was completely devoted to Betty. It was a pleasure to know him. And I also enjoyed cutting his hair from time to time if he thought of himself. I will miss seeing him wearing the ever present ball cap. Rest In Peace Charlie. Tell Betty hello from me.

I was honored to be considered a friend, by Charlie Arnold. During the years he worked for Dignity Memorial, and even after his retirement, he always took time to stop by my office and spend a few minutes reminiscing about our common military backgrounds. He always reminded me that he looked forward to having his Military Honors, "when his time came". Rest In Peace, dear friend....
