ARCAND, Arnold Jr.
The family announces with great sorrow his passing at Maison McCulloch Hospice in Sudbury on Monday, March 8, 2021 at the age of 54 years. Son of Arnold Sr. and Helen (née Harasym) Arcand. Beloved husband of Jennifer (née O’Sullivan) Arcand. Loving father of Daniel Lamontagne Jr., Hope (Bruno), Cash and Paige Arcand. Cherished brother of Carrie Arcand-Pugliese (Larry). Sadly missed by Jen’s parents, Priscilla and Wayne (predeceased) O’Sullivan, siblings, Allyson, Brian and Kelly along with many nieces, nephews, relatives, friends and ‘fur babies’, Riley, Loco and Jewels. As per Arnold’s wishes there will be no visitation or service. His family and friends will always remember the special attributes of Arnold. His exterior portrayed rough and rugged but his heart showed his true colours. His children loved his beard and being the colours in his rainbow. « Go Rayside! » will truly be missed in the neighborhood rinks. His lifelong friends, Animal (Guy St.Jean), Steve Spadafore and Steve Dow were with him to his departure and surely have many fond memories of their adventures together. CN was Arnold’s second home. His ‘work family’ was important to him with more than 30 years service and achieving locomotive engineer. His brothers and sisters of Teamsters Local 728 are proud of the footprint he has left for them. His only sibling, Carrie, Mom and Dad would truly attest that he was a protector of all close to him. The entire family now have a large void in their lives which can never be replaced.
The love of his life, ‘Jenny’, was continually there for him and even through their sadness he would always quietly say « Jen stop…I need you to be strong. » Wife, Jennifer, would like to thank Dr. Singh, Dr. Mocanu, Dr. Sbrocchi, NP Claire Warren, and the Bayshore team for their caring and compassion, along with the many medical staff who had a role in his journey. The overwhelming community support for ‘Fight4Arnold’ will never be forgotten. A celebration of his life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations will be accepted in trust for Cash and Paige at cashandpaigearcand@hotmail.com or any Scotiabank branch, account # 30262 04974 87.
