Family members, friends and co-workers described Arnold Lopez as “the light in the room,” and after his sudden death May 15, they forged a way to preserve the flame.
Lopez, formerly an NV Energy economic development executive, spent 19 years in the field of electrical energy conservation and distribution. The past president of the Henderson Development Association, the economic development arm of the Henderson Chamber of Commerce, is being remembered by fellow chamber members with the Arnold Lopez Memorial Scholarship fund.

Is there going to be any more political office for you?’ Here’s where I’ll leave that: I have been brought up and raised to be a public servant, so whatever our residents want, I’ll be there.” But he quickly added, “I’m not going to take the first step.” |
