Arthur F. "Artie" Colombo

Uncle Artie found joy in everything and in everyone.

Anyone who met Uncle Artie met is better for having known him. He showed us the best way to live -- savoring every moment, extracting happiness at each turn, living every day to its fullest. In this way, Uncle Artie defined a life well lived.

Uncle Artie gave me a lot to remember: his stories and his great humor; his feasts and gatherings; his enthusiasm; his caring; his encouragement; how he was the life of the...

My memory of uncle Artie comes from when I was 10. We visited while traveling cross country in our camper. I'll never forget the Polar Bear rug and how he captivated me with his story of the hunt. When we returned home, he mailed me some of the Polar Bear's fur to use for tying fishing flies. Tight LInes and Good Hunting in Heaven!

Artie has been a great friend and hunting partner. Great lunches with a good bottle of wine make for lifetime memories. Until later.

Dear Art, what sunshine you brought into Vera's life so many years ago -- and the joy you gave to Tim and Carol as a loving father. Thank you for loving Nana Shea and always making her feel so welcome. She loved you for YOU and how much you loved Vera and the kids. And me and my kids, too -- that goes without saying.

Vera, Tim, and Carol, we love you and grieve with you. May God strengthen you during this time... It will be but a season before we all join Artie.

Art I never met you but all Vera, Barbara and Donna told me about you You were a great guy and huaband

Love Carole

Art was always the life of the party. He always had so much fun entertaining everybody else. Here's hoping they have the best milkshakes and Manhattan's waiting for you up there. Heaven will never be the same with you there.

Save some pheasants up there for me Pasquinel..
