Russell W. Arnott, Jr. “Temmy” age 59 of Wayne died, with the comfort of his family by his side, on Friday, April 08, 2011 after a 2 1/2 year battle with brain cancer.
Russell was born in Paterson and was a lifelong resident of Wayne.
He gradated from Wayne Hills High School with the Class of 1969 and attended both Morris County College and Ramapo College. He dedicated six years of his life, from 1970 – 1976 to serving the National Guard at the Riverdale Armory.
His very first job was at Dairy Delight in Wayne, and he worked at the A&P, Wayne, Midnight Tree Service, Wayne, Wayne Parks & Recreation Department, owned and operated Split Oak Landscape Design, Wayne, was Supervisor of Maintenance at the Preakness Shopping Center, Wayne and most recently was the Foreman of Recycling and Solid Waste for Wayne Township.
He was an avid Passaic County 4-H'er under the leadership of Ed Fullard and Al Kooistra. He was involved in woodworking and raised rabbits (his future brother in law educated him in rabbit breeding...as if they needed instruction!) He also raised sheep and ducks. Stepping in duck poop in bare feet is something you learn not to experince more than once. Russ was a member of the Passaic County Haykickers square dance club which took first place in the state wide competition at the Flemington Fair.
Russell was raised in, and a member of the Pequannock Reformed Church, Wayne for many years.
He was a very hard working person, outgoing, strong, driven and a friend to all, who was very proud of his old roots and family heritage in Wayne. Russell was very proud to own and rebuild, from the foundation to the roof, the homestead in Wayne that has been in the family since 1861.
Russell met his wife Karen (Whetham) Arnott at the Preakness Luncheonette, Wayne and proposed to her at the family home. They married on September 10, 1988 at the Pequannock Reformed Church, Wayne and honeymooned at “The Bung” the family shore home in Silverton. They have enjoyed twenty-two years of a marriage that is best described as a perfect partnership where the strengths and faults of one were overcome by the strengths and faults of the other.
Russell was the loving husband of Karen (Whetham) Arnott; devoted father of Clayton Arnott and his wife Karen of West Caldwell, Rance Arnott of Dingmans Ferry, PA, RachaelAnn Arnott, Amanda Arnott, and Ryerson Arnott all of Wayne; cherished grandfather of Nicole and Logan Arnott; and loved brother of Karen Perkins and her husband Matt of Wayne.
