Arnet quit school at age 12 and worked in tobacco his entire working life. He would work right through the entire season from planting to stripping. He also worked at the tobacco warehouse for 19 years. He had planned to work until he was 65 but when he turned 64 he got shingles and could not work that last year. Arnet was a gentle soul and wouldn’t purposely hurt anyone or anything. He spent the last years of his life living with his cousin and best friend Bruce Malcolm, until Bruce passed away in March 2014. He dearly missed Bruce and said so often.
