Arthur Dexter Obituary
Arthur proudly served in the US Army during the Korean Conflict. He loved to watch all sports and was an avid softball player. Arthur was also a proud member of the North Italian Home Club. He was liked by everyone who knew him. Arthurs best times were spent with his wife, Joyce, going to the casino.
Arthur is survived by his wife of 62 years, Joyce (Hennessey) Dexter; his son and daughter-in-law Douglas and Renee Dexter; his grandson Jacob Dexter; and a close family friend, Joe Kretock, who Arthur considered family. He is predeceased by his parents Mr. Glendon Dexter and Marjorie Jellison DeRedon.

I was the Manager of the ARLJ Woodbees softball team when Art played for the team. He was a great competitor on the field, and just a nice guy who was loved by many. I have heard many stories from people who worked with and for Art in the City of Meriden, and he was well respected by many,many friends and co-workers.
My deepest sympathy to Art`s Family, may his soul rest in God`s eternal peace!
Sincerely,
John A. Young

I am so grateful to have known Art for many years and always considered him a true gentleman and kind friend. He certainly loved Joyce and his family and was so extremely proud of his Son and Grandson. It is very difficult to know that he has gone from this earthly world. May beautiful memories warm the cockles of your hearts.
I am so extremely sorry for your loss. So very sad!
