William Argenti Obituary
He was born December 4, 1952 in Lorain and had been a Huron resident for the past 20 years moving from Lorain.
He was a veteran of the US Army.
Bill was a hard working, good on his hand shake man who wore his heart on his sleeve. He worked several years at Ford Motor, but spent the large majority of his life mastering the skill of auto body repair. Although he wore a tough exterior he had a big heart. He loved his family, his dog Cujo, leather vests, wearing way too much cologne, fighting for underdogs, the Cleveland Browns, and nothing more than belting out a dead on rendition of turn the page by Bob Seger during one of his gigs as a Karaoke King at the local VFW.
He was a member of St. Frances Xavier Cabrini Parish, Lorain, a life member of Amvets Post #22, Vermilion, past member of St. Lads, VFW #7576, and Huron Eagles.
He is survived by his wife of 22 years, Deborah Argenti; daughter, Nicole (John) Ruoff of Grafton; sons, William (Karen) Argenti of Myrtle Beach, SC and Erik Argenti of Los Angeles, CA; mother, Margaret "Peggy" (nee Hostetler) Argenti of Lorain; grandchildren: Brianna and Jacob Argenti, and Makenna and Chase Ruoff; brothers, Benjamin Argenti of Lorain, and Paul Argenti of Vermilion; and a sister, Denise Steele, of Lorain.
He was preceded in death by his father, Benjamin Argenti and a sister, Grace Yvonne Argenti.
The family will receive friends on Sunday, July 1, 2012 from 11:00 a.m. until the time the funeral service at 3:00 pm at the Dombrowski-Riddle Funeral Home, 1939 Oberlin Avenue, Lorain, Ohio. The Reverend John Retar will officiate and the Vermilion Veterans Council will conduct military honors.

Peg and family, words can't fill the void or erase the sorrow at this time. However, I find myself sitting here smiling, remembering Billy and all the joy and laughter he brought to others. Though apart for many years, I have often thought of brother Bill. As an "extended" son, know that my love, thoughts and prayers are with you all.

My deepest sympathies to the entire family. I remember growing up on Oakwood Ave. and all of us playing together. Bill was a wonderful man with a sweet heart and warm smile. May God grant him eternal rest in his kingdom and may the family find strength in knowing one day they will all unite.
