Joe Allen Arrowood, 84, adored by all who loved him, was born on April 13, 1932, in Hitchins, Kentucky and died on June 5th, 2016 in Lynchburg, Virginia. The second of thirteen children, he was born to Benjamin Franklin Arrowood and Muriel (Mearl) Duvall, Joe had vivid memories of a loving childhood, and he passed that love on every day of his gentle life.
Joe was married for 51 years to Mary Lou Pavlovich, who predeceased him, as did his step-daughter, Tona Diane Creamer. He is survived by his daughters, Janice (Peter) Jennings, of Winston Salem, NC, and Susan (John) Sipos, of Lynchburg, VA; eight grandchildren, Kenneth Hough, Kyle Hough, Rett Hough, Jay (Lisa) Ammons, Cassandra Sipos, Victoria Sipos, Emily Jennings, and Sarah Jennings; his dear companion of eight years, Carol Gainer, and his special dog friend, Macie. Also surviving are many brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews and cousins.
Joe never tired of sharing stories of his life growing up in the hills of Kentucky, his Navy service, his career as a traveling salesman, his tire and automotive businesses, and his decades in commercial and residential real estate sales. Joe loved people. He worked in sales for Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company, Mansfield Tires, Arthur Fulmer, and he owned his own store, Gallipolis Tire Company, for many years in Gallipolis, Ohio. Joe’s final career was in real estate in Tampa, Florida. Arrowood Realty was a small company, but was often among the top firms in Hillsborough County.
A private service will be held at a later date near Custer, South Dakota. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the charity of your choice. Cards may be sent to Janice Jennings, 284 Flintshire Road, Winston-Salem, NC 27104.
