Clifford Dale Arnold Jr Obituary (1939 - 2024)

Clifford Dale Arnold Jr, affectionately known as Dale, was a man whose life was as rich and vibrant as an autumn leaf shining in the sun. Born on the 31st of October, 1939, in Kansas City, KS, he was a Halloween baby whose spirit was anything but spooky. Dale's life was a testament to ambition, compassion, and humble love. He led a life that was centered around his family, who were his pride and joy, and his work, where he showcased his diligence and dedication. For many years, Dale worked as a driver for a linen company, where his humble demeanor and ambitious work ethic were well appreciated. He later retired to Dover, Arkansas, where he spent twelve cherished years. Dale was a man of simple tastes; his favorite pastime was playing golf, a hobby that brought him immense joy and relaxation. He was a loving soul who treated everyone he met with kindness and respect. "A good character is the best tombstone," Charles Spurgeon once said. "Those who loved you and were helped by you will remember you when forget-me-nots have withered. Carve your name on hearts, not on marble." Dale truly carved his name on the hearts of all who knew him. He is survived by his daughter, Jennifer Bushea, his son-in-law, Tim Bushea, his grandson, Timothy Bushea, and his granddaughter, Kimberelee Carney. Dale was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Janelle Arnold, his father, Clifford Sr, and his mother, Margaret Arnold. As we remember Dale, we remember a man whose love was as boundless as the sky, whose compassion was as deep as the ocean, and whose ambition was as towering as a mountain. We invite all who knew and loved Dale to share their memories and upload photos to his memorial page. His life was a beautiful journey, and we hope to honor and celebrate Dale by sharing the moments that made his life so exceptional. A private committal will be held at the J. Herman Humphrey Dignity Cremation Center Chapel of Light. Arrangements under the direction of Humphrey Funeral Service. Online guestbook and obituary are available at www.humphreyfuneral.com
