Gary Arseneau

My husband and I have many fond memories of Mr. Arseneau. We both attended Gompers Middle School and remember him in his first years of teaching. He always had a smile on his face and really seemed to love teaching. So sorry for your loss. Blessings to your family! Chris and Donna (Hilgendorf) Schubring

I have many fond memories of working with Gary at Gompers in the early '80's. He always had a smile on his face and could make people laugh. He had a collection of loud neckties that he wore daily, and enjoyed the banter they provoked! My sympathy goes out to all of his family. May you treasure good memories. Annette Porter

We grew up together in Superior and were team mates in all sports. We had a high school fraternity called the DC's and we sure had great times together. I am so sorry for your family's loss. As often happens. when we graduated from Central most of us left for college but got together when we returned home for breaks, again lots of fun memories. Unfortunately as we got older , got married and started our careers and families many of us lost touch with one another and for that I am sad that I didn't get to know more about Gary's teaching career, his boys and his life. The picture you have included is so wonderful as it is the look he would give me after he fed a pass to me on the basketball court or looked back at me in the huddle as we broke for the next play. A great high school friend who will be missed by all of his class mates 1965 Central High. God B less your family and Gary and may he Rest in Peace with the Lord.

I can still see Gary running around the basketball court at Superior Central High School. He may not have been as tall as some of the others, but he ran circles around many. I was also able to enjoy him here in Madison as well, as he taught with my husband at Blackhawk (Gompers). He was a sweet person, and is finally at peace. RIP Gary, you will be missed.

Gary and I taught at Gompers Junior High in the early 70s. I well remember his easy-going, yet no-nonsense approach to teaching. He was a "natural". May God's peace be with you, his family and friends, at this time.
