The Family of Robert Harvey Arnold, 91, USN, WWII VET, have invited the Patriot Guard to honor their loved on on his final journey. We are very honored to accept this mission.
Bob was a proud veteran of World War II where he served honorably in the United States Navy. He later became an active member of the American Legion, Post #53, where he served his fellow veterans as a member of the honor guard. He was also a proud member of the Hemet Elks Lodge and the Lakewood Elks Lodge, the Crean Cruisers RV club, and the Downey Moose Lodge.
Bob loved fishing every chance he got, but his most precious time was spent with his family. He was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather.
Bob was dearly loved and will be deeply missed by everyone who had the honor to know him.

For those interested, and all are welcome, we will be accompanying the hero and his family from the funeral home to his final resting place.
