Past Grand Knight Paul Arcese

PGK Paul Arcese
Lord, Hear Our Prayer

Past Financial Secretary, PGK Paul Arcese has passed to Eternal Life. Final arrangements are being made at Higgins Home for Funerals and obituary will be available shortly! Click link below to view final arrangements and read his obituary once available.

PGK Paul Arcese was our council's Financial Secretary for 32 years, performing his role admirably and honored accordingly by our council, district, and state on March 24, 2012. He was a mentor and tutor to me and many grand knights before and after me. Additionally, he made the transition of FS responsibility to me a simple and fulfilling; I was able to visit with him and Marie (who preceded him in passing) and get to know them as the fun-loving couple that we all knew and loved.
