Daniel M. Arnold

Daniel Michael Arnold passed away unexpectedly Thursday, December 2, 2021. As he preferred, he “left on a high.” The previous week, he enjoyed a very active Thanksgiving with family and friends. His death occurred after his morning ritual: reading the paper over breakfast, going on his “constitutional,” and a workout. Dan enjoyed seeing people on his walks and loved the people he met during his volunteer activities. Dan was a Navy Veteran who wrote and told wonderful stories about his time serving on the USS Shields in the 1960s. A Fellow of the Society of Actuaries, he retired from Hooker & Holcombe, Inc. after a long tenure during which he consulted on pension plans and often provided expert testimony in court. He was a proud alumnus of the University of Michigan – Go Blue! For a few years after retirement, Dan enjoyed being the grey-haired Apple Store Specialist. Dan loved the town of Bloomfield. He was proud of his service on the Board of Education. And he was an original member and organizer of the Bloomfield Rum Runners and Memorial Day Road Race. For many years he was a very active and well-loved volunteer for a variety of organizations. He was former Secretary for the Hartford Track Club, organizer and leader for AARP Tax Aid, and tour leader for ARRL – W1CNI. Dan is survived by his sweetheart and wife of 60 years, Jane Arnold, his children Kathryn, Andrew, Elizabeth, and Thomas, his children-in-law Ezekiel, Arabel, Erik, and Chana, his adored grandchildren Keith, Elana (Netanel), Scott, Naama (Malkiel), Samuel, Adam, Sophia, and Asher and his precious great granddaughter Yael. He is also survived by his brother Rabbi Stephen Arnold (Cecile), his nieces and nephews, other family, and innumerable friends, all of whom loved him and will miss him. Donations in memory of Dan may be made to Foodshare, ACLU, or Hartford Symphony Orchestra. A funeral service will be held outside at Temple Sinai Memorial Park, 41 W Hartford Rd, Newington, CT 06111 at 11:00am on Monday, December 6, 2021.
