Dennis Arcano
November 30, 1945 — October 11, 2017
Dennis Arcano, 71, died October 11th at St. Luke’s Aurora Medical Center in Milwaukee Wisconsin from complications associated with C.O.P.D. He was born in Stamford Connecticut on November 30th, 1945 to the late Frank A. Arcano and Mary Buchetto Sarni Arcano. A proud lifelong member of “The Cove Boys”, Dennis attended J.M. Wright Technical High School and served in the Army Reserve before marrying Nancy Rosa on June 24th, 1972 at Sacred Heart Church in Stamford. He worked for 40+ years as a building engineer at High Ridge Park, where he specialized in HVAC maintenance.
Dennis embraced all that life had to offer, especially Doo-Wop music, classic cars, drag racing, motorcycles, the family dogs, and making memorable moments with his family and friends. He was well known for being the life of the party and had an uncanny knack for making everyone in the room laugh. Wherever Dennis went he was very well loved and respected, but above all else he adored his family and was selfless with everything he did for them every single day of his life.
Dennis is survived by the love of his life, Nancy, his two loving sons Dennis J. and his wife Melina, Alex and his wife Korrie, and his precious granddaughters Skylar and Sloane. Also surviving are his sisters Lucille Gladwin and Geraldine Boccuzzi and her husband Buzz, his brothers-in-laws Joe Pennella and John Hickey, his sisters-in-law Jackie Arcano, Jay Arcano, and Joanne Moavero and her husband Richie, as well as numerous aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
He is predeceased by both his parents, sisters Lena “Dolly” Pennella, Fran Hickey and Theresa Arcano, brothers Frank A. Arcano Jr., Michael P. Sarni, Nicholas, Joseph, Anthony, Alfred, and Thomas Arcano, sister-in-law Marie Sarni and brother-in-law Russ Gladwin.
Family and friends may call at the Nicholas F. Cognetta Funeral Home & Crematory, 104 Myrtle Avenue, Stamford on Friday, November 3, 2017 from 4:00 - 7:00 PM.
