Arnold was a hard worker who brought an energetic spirit and
entrepreneurial drive to his lifework as a woodsman, farmer, trucker,
and business man. He was the owner of Black Diamond Charcoal Company
(1960 … 67) and co-owner of Fox & Graham Construction
Company (1950 … 1970). He grew and sold Christmas trees from
home to the local Lions Club and also shipped them south for many
years.
He had a great love of life and enjoyed nothing more than gathering
with his family for happy meals and special times. He looked forward
to the birthday lunchtime gatherings with his brothers and sisters, to
the weekly jamborees of music at various halls and community centres
as well as the card games with his “gang” of friends. He
also enjoyed attending the Nackawic Baptist Church on Sunday and other
events at the church.
Arnold was an honorary life member of the Progressive Conservative
Party of New Brunswick. He was a member of the Wood Products
Marketing Board for York, Sunbury, Charlotte Counties (1975 …
1997). He was deeply interested in service to the community and was a
York County Councilor (1951 … 1966), a School Board member (1952
… 59), a member of the Upper Queensbury Hall Association and
gave the gift of the hall to the community, a member of the Nackawic
Cemetery Committee and a member of the Nackawic Baptist Church.
Arnold had a keen mind and spent a lifetime engaged in politics and
business. He also had a great passion for travel. He and Norma
enjoyed many memorable trips across Canada and the United States.
