William Arnold

January 30, 1936 - June 2, 2020

On June 2, 2020, William (Bill) Arnold, loving husband, father and grandfather passed peacefully in Huntington Beach at the age of 84. He was born in Holywood, California, to Arthur and Cora Mae (Dietz) Arnold. He attended Hollywood High School and served in the US Army. He worked as a driver for UPS and as both a business agent and President of Teamsters Local 396 before retiring in 1994. He married Betty Alire and raised four children in West Covina. After he retired, he enjoyed playing golf at Azusa Greens with his golfing buddies, traveling with Betty to visit various historical sites around the US, and being with his family.

Bill was devoted to the love of his life, Betty, dedicated to his family, and loyal to his friends. Those who knew him will no doubt remember his infectious laugh.

Bill was preceded in death by three brothers and one sister. He is survived by his wife, Betty, daughters Elaine (Bob) Philipps and JoAnn (Wes) Betebenner, sons Kenneth and Philip (Dianna) Arnold, granddaughters Lauren and Megan and four great-grandchildren.

A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
