Arthur Roger “Art” Masoero, Jr.
August 5, 1960- January 18, 2021
Arthur Roger “Art” Masoero, Jr., 60, of Dunkirk passed away January 18, 2021. He was born August 5, 1960 in Washington State to Arthur Roger, Sr. and Celeste Sue (Moore) Masoero. Art was raised in Tacoma, WA and graduated from Bellarmine Prep School. He attended Creighton University where he completed his undergraduate degree in Political Science. He was a member of the Delta Upsilon fraternity. Later, he obtained his Master of Instructional Technology degree from George Mason University. Art was employed as a contractor with Kaiser Permanente and various other insurance companies, primarily working as a Project Manager. He was a devout member of Jesus the Good Shepherd Catholic Church and was a charter member and the first Grand Knight of the Knights of Columbus. Art loved baseball and coached for the last 15 years, most recently coaching his son Daniel with Northern Calvert Little League. Art loved the Washington Nationals and was a season ticket holder for many years. As Art would say, he was a longtime suffering Cubs fan as well. Art was an avid sailor and spent many years sailing with his sons and beloved friends. Above all else, Art was a devoted father to his two sons, Joseph and Daniel. He was a very proud father and put them above anything else in life. Art was larger than life and loved by everyone, he will be greatly missed.
Art is survived by his children Cpl. Arthur Joseph Masoero II and Daniel James Masoero, both of Dunkirk, significant other Pamela Rossomondo of Olney, MD, mother Celeste “Sue” Masoero of Hampton, VA, brother Anthony Masoero of Hampton, VA, and many, many dear friends. He was preceded in death by his father Colonel Arthur Roger Masoero, Sr., sisters Christina Antoinette Benn, Corrinne Suzanne Masoero and Carmen Marie Masoero.
In lieu of flowers, Art’s family humbly requests donations be made to support the future educational and housing needs of Joseph and Daniel. There is an account set up at SunTrust Bank and checks should be made out to Pam Rossomondo with “Masoero Boys” on the memo line and sent to the address below.

Art was a close friend and good man. His ability to intelligently add an angle or perspective was one of his many gifts. So many awesome memories with Art make me so sad that he is gone. It is so true that he loved his boys to the depths of his being. He was so proud of both Joey and Daniel and talked about both on end. He was and fun, happy, interesting, intelligent, articulate, and good man. I will pray for his soul the rest of my days. I miss you bother.

Art will be deeply missed in Scouting circles. He was a dedicated father to one Eagle Scout and one aspiring Eagle. It was my pleasure to have served with Art at Troop 789 in Dunkirk during the past several years. He rarely missed a meeting or an opportunity for input. On behalf of Troop 789 and the entire Scouting family, we share our deepest condolences for his sons and family.

The Somers family is sorry to hear about the loss of Art. I met him once and, knowing our youngest sons would attend high school together, I thought I would have years to get to know him. I am sad that we won’t have that opportunity. God bless you all and may He send strength and comfort. Eternal rest grant unto him, oh Lord, and perpetual light shine upon him. May Art, through the mercy of Christ, rest in peace. Amen.

To the family of my very dear friend Art… He and I went through grade school, High school and College together! We experienced so much of life together. Art, you were such loyal and honest friend… a precious gift from our Lord Jesus Christ gifted to us in today’s crazy world… We spoke many many times for hours on end for years and years on the phone… always there was time spent on his sons… every time! Him living in Maryland and I in Tacoma… I’m so sad to have lost him, but so very happy and excited for him to be with our Lord… Art was a God fearing man and was honest in his faith! God Bless him… my dear friend Art Masoero!
