Bill > J01285

This resolution pays tribute to Robert John Arnold, a distinguished citizen from Carmel, New York, who passed away on August 18 at the age of 85, recognizing his life of dedicated service and commitment to family. Born in the Bronx in 1940, Arnold served in the United States Merchant Marines and worked for 39 years at New York State Electric and Gas (NYSEG) as a lineman before earning a sociology degree from Pace University and becoming an addiction treatment counselor. The resolution highlights his deep faith as a parishioner of St. James the Apostle Church, his 57-year marriage to Carol Frances Dolan, with whom he had three children and seven grandchildren, and his passion for genealogy and family. Noting his lifelong dedication to learning, service, and compassion, the resolution formally mourns his passing and resolves to transmit an engrossed copy of the resolution to his family, commemorating Arnold as a man whose life exemplified selfless service, family strength, and a faithful heart.
