Arnold B. Cesaro, 83, a long time resident of Wintersville, Ohio, marched into the gates of Heaven to become God’s soldier on October 6, 2012. Arnold was surrounded by his family as he valiantly lost his battle with cancer. He was a true soldier until the end. As the poet, Dylan Thomas, once said, “He did not go gently into that good night.” He was born in Adrian, WV on December 8, 1928 a son of the late Fragomeni and Lillie Claypole Cesaro. He was a US Army veteran and was employed by the former Jefferson County Burial Vault Co. for over 47 years. For 64 years he and his wife Florence shared an undying love and devotion to one another and their children and grandchildren. Arnold loved nothing better than working in his garden and sharing the bounty with his family and neighbors, something he had done until this year. He took great pride in his yard and caring for his flowers. During the winter months he liked repairing and making new lawn ornaments for his family and many friends. Arnold liked watching wrestling, kick boxing and stock car racing on television. In addition to his parents he was preceded in death by his oldest son Kenneth A. Cesaro; two infant grandchildren; brothers Orlando and Harold Cesaro and Hugh, Edgar and Hartsel Claypole; sisters Vernia Lantz, Opal Kostoff and Donis Poling.
