Arthur John Kinsman, 81

Arthur John “Artty” Kinsman, 81 (December 15, 1944-March 5, 2026), of Acton and Arlington, passed away peacefully.

He was the son of the late John A. and Margaret (Quinn) Kinsman and the stepson of the late Edna (Hicks) Kinsman. Artty was the devoted husband of 57 years to Corinne (Price) Kinsman, formerly of Medford, and the dedicated father of John Kinsman.

In addition to his wife and son, he leaves behind two grandsons, Oscar and Sam (along with their dogs Hooper and Ozzie). He is also survived by his daughter-in-law Lindsay McConchie and her loving family. Artty leaves brothers- and sisters-in-law Joel and Marg Price of New Hampshire, and James (“Rick”) and Cathy Price of New Jersey; as well as many nieces, nephews, and cousins. He also leaves his dear childhood companion Kathy Schiavo of Everett and his oldest friend John Harrison of Medford and Woburn.

Artty was president of three organizations where he spent many happy hours with friends: Acton Rod & Gun Club, Acton Youth Theatre, and The Acton Players.

A 1963 graduate of Mount St. Charles Academy in Woonsocket, Rhode Island, Artty was a veteran of the U.S. Navy. He retired from Mount Auburn Hospital after 50 years of service, leaving behind many dear friends.

Family and friends will gather for a celebration of life on Saturday, May 2, 2026, at 2 p.m. at the Acton Rod & Gun Club, 74 Strawberry Hill Road.
