Thomas Arrowood, helped create NKU's Economics Foundation
Thomas E. Arrowood believed in helping as many people as he could.
Whether it was saying a kind word to someone or encouraging students by helping to create the Northern Kentucky University Economics Foundation, Mr. Arrowood was dedicated to others, said his wife of 10 years, Lois Thomas Arrowood.
"He was my best friend; I have known him for 20 years," Mrs. Arrowood said.
"He loved reading, he loved his computers and he loved to fish. He liked quiet time with me and reading science fiction books."
Mr. Arrowood, 38, of Park Hills, died Monday at his home. His wife said he suffered from several long-term health problems, including kidney trouble.
However, while Mr. Arrowood spent a lot of time in hospitals, he never complained about his condition, his wife said.
"I know he said he must have bought his doctors a couple of new cars with all the medical bills he paid," Mrs. Arrowood said.
Mr. Arrowood was a retired tax examiner with the Internal Revenue Service in Covington. He received an economics degree from NKU in 1986 and later helped create the Northern Kentucky University Economics Foundation to encourage students to complete their work.
Mr. Arrowood is from Covington and attended both Holmes High School in Covington and Princeton High School outside Cincinnati.
Arrowood had many of his economics papers published and enjoyed working with his professors at NKU, his wife said. He also played Santa Claus at the Kenton County Animal Shelter the past two years.
"He was very easygoing and very caring for everybody," Mrs. Arrowood said.
"Anybody who needed help, just ask Tom and he was there."
