Arthur Robidoux Obituary

CUMBERLAND - Arthur J. Robidoux, 93, of Cumberland, passed away Sunday, Aug. 9, 2015. He was the husband of Fernande (Guerin) Robidoux for 64 years.

Born in Woonsocket, he was the son of the late Alphonse and Laura (Langelier) Robidoux.

Arthur served in the Navy during WWII as an aviation machinist's mate second class. He was a sergeant for the Woonsocket police force for 25 years, and he was a past vice-president of the Woonsocket Police Relief Association. Arthur worked with his father as a school officer, and he also worked for 10 years at Landmark Medical Center before retiring.

He was a player for the City Basketball League Championship 1948-1949 All Star Club. He was also an avid volleyball and tennis player. What Arthur enjoyed most was the time he spent with his family, especially his grandchildren.

Besides his wife, he is survived by three daughters, Pauline Girard of Woonsocket; Felice Beauchemin of Hermitage, Penn.; and Monique Simard of Blackstone; three grandchildren, Emily Fagan, and Joshua and Lauren Simard; and a great-grandson, Killian Fagan. He was the brother of the late Lucien and Henry Robidoux.

Arthur (Arte) was my best friend’s father. He was a kind and loving person. Many years ago my grandmother was a dispatcher for a taxi cab company that was located at the train station at Depot Square. At that time Arte was walking the beat in downtown Woonsocket and he would stop by the train station to talk with my grandmother. Love and miss you Arte.

Mrs. Robidoux, on behalf of the Wynne siblings and family, may I extend our deepest condolences on this sad occasion. You and your husband visited with us last summer when our mom passed away. I regret that we are unable to be there with you physically at this time, but we are there in spirit.
