Joe Arce, loving husband and father, leaves behind his wife Cookie and son Joseph. He started his life in July 1959, born to Carmen and Jose in New York. Joe grew up alongside his younger brother Edwin and two other siblings.  In the 1970s, Joe enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps, serving 20 years of active duty. In 1984 he married his wife, Cookie.  Together, they welcomed their sons Joseph and David, who sadly passed away in 2021. Following his retirement from the Marines in 1997, Joe applied his honed skills to a 20-year tenure as a Maintenance Supervisor at American Airlines in Tulsa.  Even in passing, Joe exemplified extraordinary courage and dignity before succumbing to cancer. He will forever be missed. He will forever be loved. We salute the Fallen.
