I am so very sorry for your loss. Please find comfort in God's sure promise of a resurrection as set forth in the Bible. ( Acts 24:15; John 5:28,29) Those who are raised to life will have the prospect of never again being subject to misery, sickness, or or death. ( Revelation 21:4) I hope that reflecting on these thoughts will give you some relief during this difficult time.

I remember him being my husband's doctor at U.K. Hospital. Then when he opened an office in Cynthiana he became our family doctor. Beyond being a good doctor he was a loving man and that is what it is all about.. R.I.P Dr. Arnold .Please God give the comfort to his family that only you can give.

Dr. Arnold was one of the most compassionate people I've ever met. As a doctor, he listened to "all" my problems and I always felt he was honest and caring. I always knew he had my best interest at heart. I will miss comparing the places we traveled , the stories he shared and the feeling that he knew me as a patient (not a number) and a person. His patients were treated as important as any family member could be. He was a friend to all. Rest in peace Rick, you surely will be missed.. .
