Bruce Carlos Arroyo

Bruce Carlos Arroyo, 55, of Washington, went to be with the Lord on Tuesday, December 25, 2018, in his home. He was born on May 29, 1963, in Cleveland, OH., a son of Pearl Medlen Hutter, of Washington, his late stepfather, Cope Hutter, and his late father, Jorge Arroyo. A 1979 graduate of Burgettstown High School, he also attended Rosedale Technical Institute. Bruce had worked at Giant Eagle, in Washington, Advanced Auto Parts in Bethel Park, Lowe’s, Amoco, as well as a bus driver for Laidlaw and an EMT for Ambulance and Chair. A jack of all trades, as evidenced by his eclectic work history, he loved to fix things and to go fishing.  A man who loved to help others, Bruce opened his arms to everyone. His greatest joy, however, was spending time with his children and grandchildren. On May 31, 1996, he married Barbara Ferguson, who survives. Also surviving are four sons, Anthony (April) Arroyo, of Washington, Joe (Nicole) Arroyo, of Washington, Steven (Jessica) Arroyo, of Washington, and John Camps, of Washington; three daughters, Angela (Dustin) Durbin, of Avella, Sara (Joey) Shamay, of Bentleyville and Jasmine Hull, of Pittsburgh; four siblings, Christopher “Chris” (Tammy Jo) Arroyo, of Washington, Lori (Jeff) Arroyo-Chappel, of Washington, Daniel “Danny” Arroyo, of Washington and Elizabeth “Lizzie” Arroyo, of Yabucoa, Puerto Rico; two step siblings, Ruthie Santek, of Washington and Charmaine Louk, of Washington; eleven grandchildren, Austin, Dakota, Hailee, Faith, Sheldan, Milee and Declan Arroyo, Noah Durbin, and Stephen, Josie and Jaxson Shamay; as well as numerous nieces and nephews. Friends will be received on Saturday, December 29, 2018, from 1 to 3 p.m. and 5 to 7 p.m., in the William G. Neal Funeral Homes, Ltd., 925 Allison Ave., Washington, PA.  There will be no services.
