Arnold’s Family Restaurant, a staple of the community for 32 years, is closing its doors permanently following the death of co-owner Frederick Arnold.
Arnold passed away earlier this week after a brief battle with cancer, the family announced on social media. The restaurant, originally scheduled to open for several days this week, will remain closed indefinitely as the family mourns and reflects on the decision to close the business.
In their heartfelt announcement, the family thanked patrons for their decades of support, highlighting the memories and connections made over the years. “We cherish every memory made and will miss every single one of you,” the statement read.
To honor Frederick Arnold’s life and contributions to the community, the family will host a Celebration of Life event on Saturday, November 23, from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the restaurant. The event is open to the public and offers an opportunity to bid farewell to both Frederick and this chapter of the family’s life.
Arnold’s Family Restaurant has been a beloved meeting spot for locals and visitors, celebrated for its welcoming atmosphere and hearty meals. Its closure marks the end of an era for the Weedsport community.
For those wishing to pay their respects, the family encourages attendance at the November 23 event, where memories of Frederick Arnold and the restaurant’s legacy will be shared.
