Arthur R. Sousa, 79, passed away peacefully on Friday, May 1 at Baystate Medical Center. Born in Ludlow October 6, 1940 son of the late Arthur and Mary (Frazoa) Sousa, Art attended Saint John the Baptist School in Ludlow, graduated from Cathedral High School in Springfield and graduated Lester Jr. college in 1961, he went on to graduate from Curry College outside of Boston. For most of his 50 year career Art worked for the Keebler company as a sales representative and later with the Kellogg company. He retired sadly in 2017 at the onset of dementia and would often say how much he missed seeing his group of coworkers. Art was a faithful communicant of Saint Catherine of Siena Church in Springfield, he was a former member of the Ludlow Portuguese American Citizens Club and the East Longmeadow Lions Club. He was predeceased by his first wife Carol Fitchet in 1988. He is survived by his son Robert and his wife Sherri in St. Petersburg, Florida. Arthur will be missed by his loving wife Kathleen (Novak) Married 29 years October 5, 1990 at Saint Joseph Church in Rockville, Connecticut. Together they enjoyed annual trips to Rockport, Ma. to celebrate their anniversary and Arts birthday. He had a special bond with his “little girl” Ruby who misses her PAPA very much. Art was a gentle kind person who will be missed by his brother-in-law Steve Novak and his wife Rita of Coventry Connecticut. He always enjoyed spending time with family and friends in Connecticut and Massachusetts and he will be missed by everyone. Kathleen thanks the doctors and nurses for their compassionate care Most especially Dr. Maryam Hasan at Baystate, and is grateful to Dr. John Bedford who supported her and her husband through the past three years. A funeral mass to celebrate Art's life will be held at a later date and donations may be made in his memory to the Alzheimer’s Association, 264 Cottage St., Springfield, MA 01104. Art’s funeral arrangements have been entrusted to the Ludlow funeral home.
