Arnulfo "Frank" V. Arroyo

2021. Frank passed away on the day of the 71st Wedding Anniversary to his wife Shirley. He was not only

my father but my Rock. He was a brilliant man with many accomplishments to his credit. He was a

chemical engineer, entrepreneur and most of all a family man. He held his position as the Patriarch of

our family with great pride and commitment. The founder of Arroyo Process Equipment, Inc in 1968 and

Arr-Maz Chemical in 1978. These companies have come to be a strong force within their industries and

something he was most proud.

He touched not only my life, but many people along his journey, this was felt by the over 500 people that have taken the time to acknowledge his life and his passing. He will be forever missed and there is a hole in my heart and my life from this day forth. The world was a better place with him in it ....RIP Pa.

Frank leaves behind his wife, Shirley, his daughter Diane (cookie), his son Frank Arroyo Jr (passed in

2018), his grandson Adam Arroyo (Ampu) , Granddaughter Alyssa ( grandpa), granddaughter Madison

Schleicher (grandpa), granddaughter Ariel Schleicher (grandpa) and his grandson Kurt Schleicher II (his partner).

He was 94 at the time of his passing and passed with his family beside him. Frank lost his long fight with

Alzheimer's. Please remember him with joy and honor for he was a true American that loved this

country, although an immigrant from Cuba, he always said that the United States was the greatest

county in the world.

In closing, note that he always said that persistent was the greatest trait that one could have....and that

should be words to live by.

There will a private service held at Sylvan Abbey for the Family on June1st and will be laid to rest in a

mausoleum in the Sylvan Abbey Gardens where he will patiently await for his wife Shirley to be together

forever.

In lieu of flowers please make a donation in his name to the following charitable organization that he

held dear....St, Jude's Hospital

See you on the other side Pa.....Much love Diane
