August 4, 1944 — November 26, 2023
William Llewellyn Arnold, "Bill," age 79 of Centerville, passed away Sunday, November 26, 2023. He was born August 4, 1944 in Cincinnati, Ohio, the son of the late Raymond and Margaret Arnold.
Bill received his Bachelors of Science from University of Dayton in 1968 and his Masters from University of Cincinnati in 1972. He was a Lieutenant in the United States Navy on the USS Howard W.

Bill started his family in April of 1972, having three kids. He thoroughly enjoyed becoming a grandpa to Michaela, Shayleigh, Andrew, Liam, Katherine, Olyvia, Haylie, and his great grandson, Liam. You would find him often saying, "Family is Everything!"
He was a strong believer in fitness religion where protein was king, but he had a fond love and addiction for all things sugar. Anyone who has tried his double chocolate cherry cake knows. His children believe he has single handily kept Kaleidos cookies in business in 2023. He loved all things history and believed we need to know where we've been to know where we are going. He thoroughly enjoyed astronomy. He believed in being a life long learner. Trains and baseball were dear loves to him and he always shared these with his family, especially his grandkids. He is fondly known to them as Papa Goofy.
