Arthur Edward Gosselin, Jr., son of Arthur Gosselin, Sr. and Rena DeVries, was born in Springfield, MA on April 17, 1923 with a thirst for knowledge, a passion for sports, and an unwavering sense of family. He approached life as an adventure, seeing each day as an opportunity to learn a new word, stop and smell the roses, have a good laugh, or shoot a few hoops. Sadly he left us on July 3, 2017.

He was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Henrietta (Gwatkin). He is survived by his 9 children: Ed (Jill) Gosselin, Diane (Pete) Warburton, Tom (Mary Jo) Gosselin, Deb Gosselin, Bob (Linda) Gosselin, Gary (Kim) Gosselin, Tim Gosselin, Terry Gosselin and Shari (Andrew Sales) Gosselin, as well as 11 grandchildren: Wendy, Alex, Kristofer, Ashley, Lance, Jordan, Jayson, Justin, Andrew, Brandon and Melani Gosselin, 13 great-grandchildren and sister Muriel Fletcher.

A private family service will be held on Monday. The family would love for people to commemorate his life by sharing a memory, thought, photo or doing something kind for someone else in his name and posting it at www.harrisfhome.com.
