Arthur is now reunited with his beloved wife of nearly 52 years, Suzanne Lafave (née Guindon).
Throughout his many years with Dominion Textile Inc., Arthur's work brought him to many places around the world. He always found a way to include Suzanne in his travels, making sure they could experience these places together and create wonderful memories along the way.
He was the loving father to Lise Theoret (Marc) and Nicole Hughey (Dan), and cherished grandfather to Michel Briere (Nikki), Robert LaForty, and Samantha LaForty. He was also a proud great-grandfather to Karson Briere and Kendall Briere.
Survived by his brother, Melvin Lafave. He was predeceased by his sister, Marie Mattice, and his parents, Ambrose Lafave and Isabel Flaro.
The family wishes to extend their heartfelt gratitude to the dedicated and compassionate staff at Woodland Villa Long-Term Care Home for the kindness, care, and support they provided to Arthur.
In keeping with Arthur’s wishes, cremation has taken place. Funeral arrangements have been entrusted to Lahaie & Sullivan – East Branch (614 First Street East).
Family and friends are warmly invited to join together for the urn committal service on Saturday, November 21, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. at Notre-Dame Cemetery (17945 South Branch Road).
Memorial donations to Hospice Cornwall, or the OSPCA would be greatly appreciated by the family.
