Born in Lebanon, PA on March 29, 1928, Skip was a son of the late Ambrose and Enid (Zimmerman) Arnold. He was a graduate of Lebanon High School, Class of 1947, and went on to retire from Lebanon Valley Offset following many years of dedicated service.

A lifelong lover of music, he shared his voice with several barbershop quartets and was a devoted member of the Singing Cedar Barbershop Chorus for more than 70 years. In his free time, Skip enjoyed watching Hershey Bears hockey games and was an avid Penn State fan. Above all, he was a devoted family man who cherished every moment spent with his loved ones.
Skip is survived by two daughters, Amy Nestler (David-deceased) and Susan Poisal (Thomas); three grandchildren, Christopher Poisal (Kristen), Meghan Frederick (Alex), and Paul Nestler; six great grandchildren, Thomas, Cayden, Tyler and Olivia Poisal, and Bennett and Brooks Frederick; and many nieces and nephews.
