He worked a short five months when he was drafted into the United States Army and completed his tour in duty during the Korean War. Following his tour of duty, he decided to go into medical school. Dr. Arceneaux completed medical school and opened his office on August 20, 1962. He resided in Duson until this great physician went to meet the great Shepherd in that Mansion reserved for people like Dr. Tuney Arceneaux.

Dr. Tuney enjoyed work and it has always been a pleasure to him. He has cultivated over 300 varieties of daylilies at his home and also enjoyed growing plumerias and different plants, which he shared with everyone. Dr. Tuney enjoyed photography and at one time shared a darkroom with his brother, Lincoln, where they both developed their own pictures. Dr. Tuney Arceneaux will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved him.
