Born February 10, 1941 to Wm. E. and Hazel Stone Parcell, he passed away on April 24, 2010.
Arvil grew up on the beautiful shores of Utah Lake. After graduating from Orem High School in 1959, he married Rosemary Wilkinson in the Salt Lake Temple in 1962.
In 1966, Arvil was drafted into the U.S. Army, completing basic training in El Paso, Texas. He was then transferred to Europe, where Rosie joined him later in Kaiserslautern, Germany. While they were there, they traveled to see many European tourist sites such as Paris, Rome, Venice, etc. when they found the time. They cherish their many wonderful memories overseas.
After serving his country for two years, Arvil and Rosie made their home in Murray, Utah, where they enjoyed fixing up their "antique" home and bringing it "back to life". During this time, Arvil purchased his first Model A Ford, in a wonderful unrestored condition, from a relative for $90. It was the beginning of his love affair with Model A's, which lasted until his retirement in 2006.
During the years, he restored many of his own vehicles from the ground up, as well as an estimated fifty vehicles for others, mostly Model A's, which he worked on extensively in his shop over a period of twenty-five years. He was well respected by many others for his experience, expertise, and his willingness to share his knowledge. So, if you should spot a Model A going down the street or in a parade, chances are he may have had a hand in its restoration!
Arvil is survived by his wife, Rosie, and children, Toby (Sher), Tawny, Tom (Sherice) and Tim (Takyiwah), and nine grandchildren. Also survived by brothers Gale, Don, and Norman (Janice).
Funeral Services will be held on Friday, April 30, 2010 at 11:00 a.m. in the Riverside Seventh Ward Chapel, 500 West Germania Avenue (5100 South), Murray, UT. Viewings will be held on Thursday from 6:00-8:00 p.m. at Jenkins-Soffe Mortuary, 4760 South State Street (100 East), Murray, and Friday from 10:00-10:45 a.m. at the chapel.
Interment at the Murray City Cemetery.
