Born December 12, 1942 in Fall River, Massachusetts to the late Arthur Camara Sr. and Clementine (deLawrence) Camara, he grew up in New England and was known as ‘Butch’ to family and friends.
While attending Michigan State University, Art met his wife Susan at the MSU Student Union and they were married 55 years. He worked in the food industry at Stop & Shop, Kroger and General Foods.
