Arthur Ososke Obituary

Arthur Ososke Passed away July 26, 2007, after a long illness at age 82. He was an adoring husband to his wife of 60 years, Doris; children, Janice and Michael; grandchildren, Geoff, Russell, and Lindzey; and son and daughter-in-law, Michael and Risa. His loving family also included brothers, Herb (Esther), Mort (Hilda) and Jack (Kelly); sister, Mary (Pete); and a large extended family of cousins, nieces, nephews and dear friends. Art was born in SF and lived in the SF area his whole life. He started as a child fixing radios and movie projectors, and was always the person called (day and night!) when a friend or family member needed any electronic equipment fixed. Art served in the Naval Air Corp at age 19. During WWII he worked as a radio operator in the Pacific flying between Hawaii and Australia. Art worked for Cal Trans as a communications analyst and was instrumental in coordinating the Cal Trans communications system after the '89 earthquake. Art enjoyed playing the piano and organ. Art was a kind and generous person and was a loving family man devoted to his friends and family, who will all miss him. Funeral Service will be held Monday, July 30, 11am at SNEIDER, SULLIVAN & O'CONNELL'S CHAPEL, 977 S. El Camino Real, San Mateo. Interment at Skylawn Memorial Park, San Mateo. Contributions to ORT America or your favorite charity preferred.
