Arthur B. REGENOLD Jr.

REGENOLD Arthur B. Jr. Mr. Arthur B. Regenold Jr. passed away early Thursday morning, November 17. For the past two years he had been a resident of the Lutheran Village at Wolf Creek in Holland. Prior to moving to Wolf Creek he and his wife of 62 years, the late Virginia Louise (Weeber) Regenold lived for over 50 years on the property in Waterville that had been in the Weeber family for three generations. Born on March 7, 1923, to the late Olga Regenold and Arthur B. Regenold Sr. Mr. Regenold was an independent insurance agent. His agency, A. B. Regenold & Co., was fortunate to have many area agricultural customers. He greatly enjoyed the outdoors, especially hunting and fly fishing. He was a former member of the Rockwell Springs Trout Club in Castalia and enjoyed seasonal activities that spanned over seventy years at the property his parents, and later he, owned at Black Lake in northern lower Michigan. Known as Whispering Pines, the property was the summer vacation getaway for many Toledo area families. He was also a founding member of the Cutty Sark Rod and Gun Club. After graduating from Woodward High School, Art studied forestry at Penn State University, but his college education was cut short by WWII. He enlisted in December, 1942, ultimately proudly serving in Headquarters Company of the U. S. Army 289th Combat Engineer Battalion, landing in France in December of 1944. The unit was in southern Germany when hostilities ceased in April, 1945. After being discharged in 1946, he joined his father and began his career as an insurance agent. He and Virginia were married on April 26, 1947. Art and Virginia were members of the Waterville Historical Society. They also were avid supporters of the Anthony Wayne Marching Generals and traveled to Miami, FL in 1971, when the Marching Generals first performed in the Orange Bowl Parade. For several years in the 1960s, he was the Scoutmaster of former Boy Scout Troop 257 of Waterville. In his retirement years, he pursued woodworking and furniture refinishing. He is survived by his daughter, Mrs. Susan Conlon and husband Terry Conlon of Cincinnati. His grandson, Patrick Conlon, resides in Mackinaw City, MI. His son, Arthur B. Regenold III, and wife Margaret "Kathy" Regenold live in McDonough, GA. The family extends its grateful thanks to the staffs of Lutheran Village at Wolf Creek and St. Luke's Hospital for the loving care provided to Mr. Regenold. A private interment is planned at Wakeman Cemetery in Waterville with a celebration of Art's life to be held at the family's summer home in early July.
