Obituary of Vincent Arquillo

Callicoon, NY - Formerly of Littlestown, PA

Vince Arquillo a recent resident of Callicoon, NY, passed away on Thursday the 23rd of January 2025.  He was 82 years old. Son of the late Daniel and Virginia Laffazzio Arquillo, Vincent was born on August 12, 1942 in New Eagle, Pennsylvania.

Vince proudly served his country in the USAF. He joined in 1961 and shared his musical talent as a concert clarinetist with the USAF concert band for 26 years. He was proud of his time in the Air Force and grateful for the lifelong friendships he enjoyed with many of his fellow musicians. After retiring from active service, Vince pursued his love of model railway construction, turning the entirety of his basement into a model railway display—which never failed to delight his grandchildren, friends, and neighbors.

Vince is survived by the love of his life, Virginia Diane Arquillo. She was his high school sweetheart and they eloped in 1963. They recently celebrated their 62nd wedding anniversary.

He is also survived by his daughter and son-in-law, Barbara and Angus Davidson and his two grandsons, Peter and Robert Davidson.  He is survived by three grandchildren from his son, John D. Arquillo, who preceded him in death. 

His brother, Robert J Arquillo, also preceded him in death.

A private memorial service will be held in the summer for family and close friends.
