With much sadness, the family of Arnold St. Clair Legrow, age 91, announce his passing at the Cumberland Regional Health Care Centre, Amherst on Friday, June 14, 2019.

Born in Gardiner, Mass., he was the son of the late Ernest and Juanita Legrow.

Arnold returned to Springhill with his family at the age of 8 and was educated in Springhill and after high school studied radio electronics in St. John NB.  He worked in auto mechanics with his father in his service station in Springhill, and later taught at the Cumberland Regional Vocational School for approximately 25 years teaching first heavy equipment repair and later auto repair.  He was a member of the St. Andrews Wesley United Church and its choir throughout his life and was active as a young adult first as a Scout leader and later in the adult program called the Square Circle.  Arnold also had a passion for antique autos and restored and enjoyed two 1923 Model T Fords and a 1936 Studebaker, and was a member of the Cumberland Car Club for many years.

Arnold will be sadly missed by his daughter Lee (Steve) Hamblen, Kitchener, ON, son-in-law David (Darla) Bradley, 9 grandchildren and 7 great grandchildren.  He was predeceased by his wife Doris (nee Smith) of 60 years,  daughters, Maureen and Darla (Bradley) and sister Eudora (Arnold) Young.
