Oscar Billy (Bill) Arinder, 88, passed into the presence of his Savior, on Tuesday, November 26, 2019, at home, surrounded by his loving family. Bill was preceded in death by his parents, William and Mary; his brothers, Houston, Robert, Dewitt and Lonnie; and his sister, Cordia. Along with all of his family, Bill loved music and practically sang his way into Heaven. A veteran, he served his country in the United States Navy during the Korean Conflict. A gentle, quiet, consistent man, he provided for his family well as a salesman and real estate developer. Bill loved supporting his local high school sports and could often be found in the gym cheering for the New Hope Trojan teams.
As a retired man, Bill discovered a new passion that helped define who he was and what mattered to him. Through the ministry of Gideons International, he began to participate in the local Jail Ministry. These opportunities to share the love of Christ with those who most needed it became the great joy and passion of his life and truly defined the kind of man he was.
