David Arnold

So sorry for you loss Jeannette. Arny and Dee Malsack

Mrs Arnold, Mike and Jeanette. So sorry for your loss, our loss. So many memories came flooding back. From whisker runs at your kitchen table before he left for work to family camping trips, Memorial Day, 4th of July, and Labor Day picnics. I can remember the last time I saw him at my dad’s funeral and the last thing I said to him “I love you” Sorry I won’t be able to be there on Saturday. These two are finally back playing cards together.

I worked with Dave for 15 years at Bancroft Dairy as the H.R. Manager. During that time, Dave and I handled many different, and quite interesting, issues on the plant floor. So much of the time, his advice was so sound as we whittled our way thru them. He was so kind, such a gentleman and truly cared for the people who worked for and with him. He knew how the operation worked after having been there for 42 years. He could belly laugh so hard as he retold the plant floor stories! And he could show serious tears if the incident warranted! After his retirement, my husband, Gary, our dear friend, Rachel Hollman, and Dave and Evelyn, spent lots of time together playing dominos and breaking bread together. Great times those were!! I think I speak for all of those who worked with and for Dave-he was truly a kind, fun-loving friend who will truly be missed! Rest In Peace, dear friend. Terri Engel

Dave was a prince; I'll sure miss his wit and card playing!

Bancroft Dairy was my first job when I moved to Madison. I worked in the office but had several opportunities to talk to Dave Arnold and ask him questions with just about every accounting project I was working on at the time - whether it was about milk or packaging. He usually knew what I needed and he was always kind and patient. He never treated me like a pest. He always greeted me by name and had a smile for me. Dave gave me this Bancroft mug (picture attached) when he was cleaning out his office (in 1996?). I have treasured it since, because it was a gift from a kind man whom I admired. I think of him every time I see it or use it. To his family and close friends: I am sorry for your loss. The world was a better place with Dave Arnold in it. -Ann MacLaughlin-Berres
