In loving memory of Kenneth Frank Arnold who sadly passed away on 1st April 2019.
Ken was born in Tulse Hill London on 13/08/1930, although his childhood was spent in Tooting when the family moved. He spent most of the second world war living with his Great granddmother and Grandmother in Dean near Salisbury, he had many memories and stories to tell of this time.
He left school at 14 years old and began an apprenticeship with his father as a clock and watchmaker. He bought his own shop in Fulham in 1954 and ran the business until 1996, clock and watch repairs were a life long passion which he was still doing until quite recently.
He met June his wife in 1953 and they were married on his birthday in 1955, he said "it would help him remember his anniversary." He was a kind and generous man and enjoyed socialising with family and friends.
He loved to cook, particularly Indian food, in fact his samosas were really superb.
He always wore a rose on St George's day , so it is quite fitting that his funeral and celebration of life is on St George's day.
Celebration of Life at 12:30pm at Leatherhead Golf Club, Kingston Rd, Leatherhead, KT22 0EE
Ken requested that he did not want flowers, however, if you would like to make a donation to Shooting Star Chase, a childrens hospice. This is a charity he supported in the past. If you would like to do this please donate via the just giving link on this page. Thank you.
