Arnold was a true master of his craft, known for his exceptional skills as a plumber.

Arnold is now reunited with his siblings Charles Ward, Chester Ward, and Christina Ward, who preceded him in passing.

Arnold is also survived by his dear siblings Andrew Ward of Virginia, Brenda Wolfe (Donny) of PA, and Walter Ward of Perth Amboy, NJ.
Arnold's legacy lives on through his cherished grandchildren: Jillian Horan, Olivia Horan, Alicia Horan, Brittnay Pavlichko, Eddie Karrick, Brayanna Karrick, and Lisa Ward, as well as his great-grandchild, Brittany Ward. He leaves behind a host of nieces, nephews, and cherished friends.
