Gilbert Arseneau
1948-2021
Heaven’s choir has gained another tenor with the
passing of Gilbert Arseneau of Riverview. He passed away peacefully in
his home, surrounded by his family, on Wednesday, June 16,
2021. Born in Marathon, ON he was the son of the late
Augustin and Augustine (Roy) Arseneau.
Gilbert will be dearly missed by his wife Linda Arseneau,
daughter Tammy Harris (Michael); son Shawn Arseneau; sisters Patsy
Howatt (late Roger), Betty Ann MacAlpine (Jerry), Theresa Cardy
(Barry); brothers Richard Arseneau (Bernice), Michael Arseneau (Mary).
Claude Arseneau (Shauna), Gary Arseneau (Sonji), Robert Arseneau
(Brenda), Alvin Arseneau, Roger Arseneau; grandchildren Daniel, Chase,
Cadence, Caige and many nieces and nephews; and his best friend of 67
years, Alan Gaudet.
Though he worked his whole career in the engineering field,
his greatest focus was building memories with his family. One of his
greatest passions was going to “man camp” with his brothers,
along with annual family lobster boils at the cottage. Gil and Linda
have created beautiful music together throughout their entire
marriage, and were fortunate to become members of the local singing
sensations, the Metrotones, over the last 20 years. Countless people
in the community have benefited from their concerts and fundraising,
but not as much as the choir members, with their close-knit
relationships that are now like a second family.
His family will be receiving friends and relatives on Monday,
June 21, 2021 from 4-6 pm with a sharing of memories at 5:00 pm at
Cobb’s Funeral Home and Cremation Center, 330 Whitepine
Road, Riverview (869-2007). Donations made to the
TransCanada Trail or a charity of the donor’s choice would
be appreciated by Gilbert’s family.
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Gilbert Arseneau 19482021..
