Memories and Condolences
for Carmen Arvia

Not sure what to say?





Was saddened to hear of Carmen's passing. I knew him so many years ago growing up together on Kensington Avenue in Roseland. Over the years I'd run into him a few times in the Calumet City/Lansing/Munster area, and he always had time to stop and chat and exchange a hug. I'm sure he will be missed by many...My condolences to his family, children and grand children ~

Our heartfelt condolences to all the Arvia family. Carmen was a great husband, loving father and grandfather, hardworker, with a kind and compassionate soul who always brought laughter wherever he was. Loved by many, he will be sorely missed. Hold God close during these painful days when nothing makes sense or seems fair. Rest in peace Carmen.

I had the pleasure of occasionally working with Carmen and speaking with him often. He always had a smile on his face and and greeting for all those he met. He had an infectious laugh and was liked by all that were associated with him. My sincere sympathy and prayers go out to him and his family. He will be sorely missed by all.
