Arnold Hill King, age 77 of Beulaville, N.C. died Tuesday, March 3, 2015 at 12:07 a.m. after an extended stay in Viadent Duplin.

The family wishes to thank the many friends and loved ones who have offered so many acts of kindness and support through the long hours of his illness.

Arnold was born in Beulaville, NC and was the youngest of three children born to Sam and Novella King. Other than his parents he was also predeceased by both his sisters, Irene and Marie Williams.

He was a lifelong member of the Beulaville community and attended Piney Grove Pentecostal Free Will Baptist Church.

Arnold and his wife, Irene Williams eloped to Dillon South Carolina during Irene’s senior year of high school and returned to North Carolina and to their respective parents’ homes. They have been happily married for 58 years and raised two daughters, Debra and Donna.

Arnold was a truck driver and drove to New York City twice a week for thirty years. He left truck driving and worked eleven years with the Duplin County Sheriff’s Office.

In his retirement years, Arnold spent many hours sitting outside his home waving at folks as they traveled along Highway 24.

He will be remembered for his hospitality – always welcoming folks into his home, his ability to fix anything and keeping a stocked candy drawer for a number of nieces and nephews.
