Bruce M Arquette
Farmington NY
Bruce passed away on Saturday, September 21 surrounded by loving family. Bruce was born on May 10, 1941 in Hogansburg NY, the son of the late James and Margaret (Thompson) Arquette. Bruce was predeceased by Beverly (McDonough), his wife of 40 years.
Bruce is survived by his sons Peter and Earl (Pam) Arquette. Grandsons Joshua, Owen, Cory Arquette; sister Lillian and Brad Hall; brother-in-law Joseph Cinanni and many nieces and nephews.
Also predeceased by siblings Martha (Cinanni), Winnifred (Mitchell), Francis and John; sister-in-law Marlene Arquette and brother-in-law Reginald Mitchell.
Bruce left the Akwesasne reservation at a young age and eventually found his way to Rochester NY where he became an iron worker by the side of his brother Francis. In his retirement Bruce could be found tending his lawn and garden, visiting with family and neighbors, cursing his beloved Yankees or getting into trouble with his dear friend Ali. Bruce was a devoted family man who took spoiling grandchildren to a whole new level. He will always be remembered as a dear kind soul.
A Funeral Mass for Bruce will be celebrated Friday September 27th 10 a.m. at St Patrick’s Church (115 Maple Ave. Victor, NY). Interment will be private.
Bruce & Beverly were friends & neighbors for many years. Bruce was a hard working, generous man. I send my sympathy to Peter & Earl & their families.
