Robert Fred Arnold, 85, passed away on Saturday, December 21, 2019. He was born on June 8, 1934 in Ogden, the son of Frederick Arthur, Jr. and Lillian Burton Arnold. Bob graduated from Ogden High School Class of 1952. Following graduation, he served honorably in the USAF. Afterward he worked for a few years at Hill Air Force Base where he met Eleanor Faye Golden. They were married in September of 1957 in Elko, NV, and raised their family of five children in Harrisville. In 1964 they were sealed in the Logan LDS Temple. They enjoyed 58 years together before Eleanor passed away on February 24, 2016.

Bob also worked for Thiokol, IRS, Salmon’s, Ketchum’s, and Allied Builder Supply, but he spent the most time at Higley Farms, where he retired around 1985.

If Bob wasn’t hunting he was fishing. He also enjoyed perfecting the yard and crossword puzzles. Bob bled purple; was a huge fan of Weber State University. He loved tying flies and was often found up at night at the table in the trailer.
