Artie - I miss you my friend. You not only did wonders with my curls (and color) for 22 years, you were a confidant, a sounding board, a true friend. Always ready with a story and/or laugh to share. Traveling 2+ hours to see you every 6-8 weeks was something I honestly looked forward to. I'm saddened, but I'm comforted in knowing you're at peace with prior loves lost. Many heartfelt condolences to your family and sweet Molly. Until we meet again....

Artie I know Molly is a mess over this and I remember all the long talks we had while you did my hair so beautifully. We laughed a lot and had a lot in common. I would have never thought this would be or could be. I miss you and know you will speak to me from the stars because you are one. Love always Cindy

I loved Artie, he was always willing to talk and give good loving advice. Visiting his shop was visiting a friend. He will be missed not only for his talent but for his loving spirit.
