Dedication
Arvil's life of 73 years touched many, during
the 25 years he was employed at Boeing Company,
1st in Wichita Kansas, then in Bossier City
Louisiana at the Barksdale A.F.B., through the years
following his retirement and move to Russell county, in Kentucky.
Born in Lincoln county in 1924, he exhibited his
strong work ethic by going to work in
the tobacco fields at a young 13.
Arvil was an avid sportsman,
he enjoyed bowling, boating and fishing. He maintained a
garden that always seemed to produce more than he expected,
and so family and neighbors benefitted. Always available
to help those who asked, he was a fine friend.
He was genuine father material, giving of his time to
his children and their friends ; there were many enjoyable weekends spent
water skiing, and many saturday nights that he packed up
his kids and whatever friends happened to be there, taking
the whole noisey gaggle to the drive-in.
Arvil was a good
husband and provider, and always remembered his wife's birthdays
and their anniversaries. January 14th of 1998 would have
been Arvil and Bobbies 53rd wedding anniversary.
He lived the life he was given well, and he passed
with a dignity that surprised none of us who knew and loved him.
He is greatly missed, and will always be remembered for
the love he gave so generously to those he cared about...
