Obituary of Arnold Selmeczi

SELMECZI Arnold-Jozef, November 11, 1958 - June 25, 2011 Arnold was the beloved and very special son of Marta and Ernest, the great and loving brother of Anton and Andrea, loving brother-in-law of Jade and Peter, and the proudest uncle of his niece Kayla whom he adored. Arnold was a strong, hardworking, diligent man. Despite the difficulties that he had to struggle against, all his life he remained creative, inquisitive and an active artist. He never gave up trying to accomplish his goals and dreams. He was a good friend to many people and their protector and confidant when needed. His good heart and enthusiasm for life ended on Saturday morning when he did not wake up from his sleep. He is in the eternal sleep now. Rest our dearest and unforgettable son, rest you beautiful soul, dream eternal dreams. We believe the universe gained a new shining star in your and one day we all will be together again. Arnold is mourned in Hungary by his aunts Ernesztine and Marietta, his cousins Peter, Eszter, Emese and Peter. You will always be in the thoughts and prayers of our family and all of your many friends left behind, like the Librock family and John and Jaquelin Vangameren who loved, helped and mentored you for many years in their houses. Family and friends will be received at the GEORGE DARTE FUNERAL CHAPEL, 585 Carlton Street on Sunday July 3 from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. A funeral service will be held on Monday at 11 a.m. in the chapel with cremation to follow. In lieu of flowers, donations made to the Canadian Mental Health Association or Canadian Animal Allies of Niagara would be appreciated by his family.
