Arthur was born September 16, 1935 in Pelkie, MI. to the late Iver and Lempi Kosamo.

Art grew up in Pelkie and worked to help his parents in his young days. He was an old-time lumberjack who worked hard and could make a tree lie down right where you wanted it.

He had one sister, Bertha Kosamo. Special thanks to his close friends: Harold and Sharon Trewhella, Wayne and Carol Plough, and Pastor Doug and Shirley Norquest.
