Arden Lorimer Quesinberry died peacefully at his home in Severna Park, MD on Saturday, October 22, 2016 after a long illness.

Arden was born to Martha Ethel Branscome and Tyler C. Quesinberry in Meadows of Dan, Virginia.  He was raised there and met his wife and the love of his life, Golda, when they were young children.  He served in World War II in the Air Force, flying 26 missions over Germany, and received the Good Conduct Medal, the Air Medal (awarded for meritorious achievement while participating in aerial flight), seven Bronze Oak Leaf Clusters, and three Bronze Service Stars.  Arden graduated from Virginia Polytechnic Institute in 1950 with a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering.  He went to work at Westinghouse Electric as an electrical engineer and retired from there in 1988 after 34 years.  He was a major contributor to the development of the AWACS aircraft radar system, holding several patents.

Arden celebrated 71 years of marriage to his childhood sweetheart, Golda E. Quesinberry (née Lynch) on July 9, 2016.  He is survived by her and his daughter, Lisa Allen and husband, Steven of Bowie, MD; his son, Philip Quesinberry and wife, Vicky of Severn, MD; his brothers, Chester Quesinberry and family, Eric Quesinberry and family, and Garmon (Gary) Quesinberry and family.  He is predeceased by his brothers, Elmen Quesinberry, Dorn Quesinberry, Harmon Quesinberry, and his sister, Eileen Hubbard.  Arden also loved, and was loved by, two young grandchildren, Dylan Lee Arden Allen and Colton Quinn Allen of Bowie, MD.

Arden loved to hunt and fish, but his greatest passion was flying in his Cessna 182.  He obtained his pilot license in 1958 and only stopped flying in 2011.  He also loved gardening every summer and had raised beef cattle at his farm in Meadows of Dan, VA for many years.
