George Arnott Obituary
Born November 15, 1941, he was the son of George and Joan (nee Tenson) Arnott.
He was a graduate of Warwick High School, Class of 1959, and he served in the United States Air Force. He was a Warwick police officer for 36 years, working his way up to sergeant. He taught driver's safety in Orange County for many years. He was a member of the 9-11 committee in Warwick and, as a strong advocate for all things Warwick, he was actively involved in numerous other organizations within the community, including Village Cove Homeowner's Association where he was the President. He was also an avid Yankee fan.
George is survived by his son, Richard Arnott of Warwick; his nephews, Michael Kolman and Brian Kolman; his nieces, Kelly Luposello and Michelle Arnott; his cousins, and the mother of his children, April Korson. He was predeceased by his daughter, Lynn Arnott (2018), his two sisters, Joan Goosey and Shirley Kolman and his brother, Kenneth Arnott.

It's almost three years George, folks still remember you, still speak highly of you. I just spoke to a woman today who took the last Defensive Driving class that you taught at the Sugarloaf firehouse. I told her how many times that you said you weren't going to do the classes any longer only to call me up and ask me if I had any books for one last class. It gave us a chance to sit down and have a great conversation and more than a few laughs. I remember learning that it was you on the bicycle in that Reebok ad that hung in your house, how interesting that was for me. So just so you know George, you're missed but your legacy and memory in the defensive driving world certainly lives. I can't believe how many people have been through your classes! My next class in Warwick, I'll certainly let them that I talked to you. Love you my friend!

He and his family (Mother Joan) used to come to our farm each summer to visit. We would show them the ropes. We showed George how to milk a cow without a milking machine. His Mother would ride on the big rake that we used in the fields. What a fun time we had.
