Roland Arnall, big GOP contributor, former ambassador to the Netherlands and founder of Ameriquest Mortgage, has died in Los Angeles.
The governor issued a statement:
“Ambassador Roland Arnall worked each day to bring tolerance and understanding to others, and for that he was a great human being who will be missed.
“By co-founding the Simon Wiesenthal Center, Roland Arnall helped begin a movement that now promotes peace, human rights and tolerance throughout the world. Standing with Ambassador Arnall in 2004 at the groundbreaking ceremony for the Simon Wiesenthal Center’s Museum of Tolerance in Jerusalem will remain one of my most precious memories.
“Ambassador Arnall also gave generously to his home state of California, dedicating 16 years of public service as a California State University Trustee.
“It was clear that Ambassador Arnall knew the profound importance of family and he was extremely devoted to his own. I personally knew Ambassador Arnall to be a wonderful and inspirational friend. Maria and I send our prayers to Ambassador Arnall’s family, and we pledge to do our part in making sure his important work promoting tolerance around the world continues on.”
