Arnold {Arshad} Paloolian, born Noyemper 22, 1918 passed away August 21,2016 less than two weeks after his brother Paul { Պողոս }

Arnold was in Europe during WWII with the 66 infantry, Black Panthers division. He was living in Carson City, Nevada for the last 40 or so years. A great man, you would like him, you would have loved him, if you had the luck to know him.

He was Uncle Arnold to our girls from the time they were babies. His leaving is a great loss.


About 40-45 years ago I, was a bachelor than building a home up at Lake Tahoe. I was in Carson City at a restaurant counter, I had the need to talk. I asked for a telephone book and began looking for names with "ian", The waitress set a phone on the counter, I dialled and there was Arnold who said "come for a cup of coffee!" Rose his wife always kept our cups full while we talked the world over.
He was a great friend, we rebuilt a hydromatic Transmission in his back yard. Went plinking, everything.

I got married, he was friend and Uncle Arnold to the girls who love him. He called himself a heathen, but when I was Sargavark, deacon of our small local parish he was always at Holy Badarac and supported the church in every way.

He was always there, always there for us, what a loss,
 
So sorry for the loss of your friend. At 98, he had a long life and it sounds he lived his life richly. Rich in friends, family, church, kindness and love for others, tempered by his experiences in war. I am sure he will be sorely missed. My condolences.
 
Very sorry for your loss, @valley ranch . :hugs What a blessing to live well to 98 years and sounds like he was a blessing to you and yours. Prayers for your family.

May I ask, what is plinking, btw?
 
It was an amazing friendship. Not casual occasion. That makes our life. So many years of friendship with a wonderful man! Not everyone has it in their lives.
I'm sorry.
