He was the cherished grandfather to Alissa Pereira, Lauren Alves (Jonathan), Christopher Pereira, and Philip Szlosek (Lauren). He also leaves his three great grandchildren, Caden and Colton Szlosek and Audriana Alves. Arthur was a ‘natural’ athlete. He enjoyed games of all kinds and belonged to the Baystate Table Tennis Club competing well into his 80’s. He was also a musician (French Horn) and performed for many local and regional bands.
