Eulogy (continued) Then to Auckland, Dunedin, Wellington (Rochelle), Nelson, Christchurch, and Auckland since 1984 Then grandchildren arrived, Tahlia, Jean-Luc, Kaan, Caleb and Ethan Then great grandchildren, Leo, and Sasha. Over time he started travelling in Europe (Italy was his favourite) North America and Australia (Australian Open Tennis visited many times). He was proud of his environmental community work on the North Shore. He enjoyed telling stories of his Compulsory Military Training. He was once kidnapped in the late 1960s, at the Bank in Auckland. Over the last few years, we have worked together on writing stories of his younger days. I would tell him about the Arnolds, coming from Eaglesham Scotland, that they were weavers, and show pictures and stories where they lived. We would discuss their journey to Australia in 1856 and then to Dunedin in 1863. I would tell him tales of Hugh Francis McAuley, his great grandfather, prospecting days in Hyde from 1863 to 1914. David Arnold, his grandfather, job as a saddler and his interests. The Harney family, arriving in 1869 from County Roscommon, Ireland. Dad wishes were for his ashes to be deposited from the Green Bridge, near to where the family camped when he was a boy. He was always calm, accepting, non-judging, caring and a very loyal man to all family. To his Mum, his Dad, his brothers and sisters, his wife Diane, who together were in their 62nd year of marriage. To his children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. To me he was Saint Trevor and Dad.

Eulogy Part 1 Trevor John Arnold Also known as Dad, TJ, Grandad and Great Grandad. Dad was born in Dunedin on the 20th of October 1937 the 8th child of 13. His parents David McAuley Arnold and Margarita Harney were married in 1925 in Oamaru. “I cannot remember my parents having a row. Mum to me was a gentle person who always seemed calm in all circumstances”. “You could tell her anything and she would listen, and you felt better”. “Dad, was a man's man, well versed in all sports, loved his garden, he ruled with a firm line”. David Arnold grew up in Ophir and Waipiata in Central Otago. Margarita in Windsor and Oamaru North Otago. Dad first trip to Waipiata was when he was 5 years old by night train from Dunedin. “I can remember it was a clear night but on the cold side, no moon and the sky were full of stars". Walking to the camp, David his older brother, put Dad on his shoulders and carried him half the way. The family home was 77 Forfar Street, Clyde Hill, Dunedin. As a child I lived in Dunedin for a while and visited Forfar Street many times. Imagining Dad as a boy running around the house, sitting near the coal range and playing in the garden. Primary School was Saint Francis Xavier in Mornington up the road. In 1949 he went to St Edmunds. Here on the way home, he would pop into Nana Arnold house in Bradshaw Street, who always had baking treats. Nana always tried to encourage him to become a priest. He was an altar boy at his brother David wedding. From here it was onto Christian Brothers, playing rugby and cricket at school. After school he played rugby for the Dunedin Rugby Club and cricket. Upon leaving school he joined the Bank of New South Wales (Westpac today). Working for them his whole life and nearly 50 years. From the bottom to Branch Manager. The Bank took him from Dunedin to Wellington where he married Mum. On to Te Kuiti in the King Country where Angela and I were born.

The first photo Mum gave Dad when they were going out together. Very special photo to him.
