Gerald "Jerry" Arnold, 90, of Pullman, passed away January 14, 2022 at Regency Pullman.  Jerry was born December 4, 1931 in Lincoln, NE to Don & Hattie (Goerig) Arnold.  He grew up in Lincoln and after graduating from high school, Jerry entered the U.S. Marine Corp.  While he was stationed in San Francisco, he met the love of his life, Joanne Combes.  They were married in Pullman on February 20, 1954, after his honorable discharge from the Marine Corp.  They lived in Lincoln for a short time until they returned to Pullman, where Jerry studied at Washington State College.  He worked at Archie's Richfield Service Station, where he eventually took over the business, becoming Jerry's Richfield then Jerry's Arco.  After selling the business in 1972, he opened Jerry's Auto Repair for a short time.  He decided to dabble in real estate, and then worked at Neill Motors.  Realizing that auto repair was his passion, he returned to the service station business in 1975 opening Jerry's Union 76/Shell/Conoco Service Station where he worked until his retirement.  He enjoyed golf, fishing and spending time with his family. Any car trip always ended up in Vegas or a Casino town where he and Joanne beat the slot machines more often than not! Jerry was a member of the Elks Lodge, served on the board of the Pullman Child Welfare and volunteered with Meals on Wheels.  He is survived by his daughter Nancy Bray of Morro Bay, CA; his son Tom (MaryBeth) Arnold of Huntington Beach, CA; five grandchildren Taylor, Madison (Jake), Jordan, Kayla & Jake and was anticipating a great grandchild this April. In November Nancy and Tom brought their families up to Pullman for an early 90th birthday celebration.  It was truly a precious time and a blessing for all. Jerry was preceded in death by his wife Joanne in 2000 and his parents.  No public services are currently planned and Jerry will be laid to rest with Joanne at the Pullman Cemetery by his children.  Corbeill Funeral Home of Pullman, WA formerly Kimball Funeral Home, has been entrusted with arrangements.  Memorial donations are suggested to the Friends of Hospice, Pullman Regional Hospital Foundation, or Pullman Child Welfare.
