Artie it´s been almost 15 years, I could still hear your laughter so clearly. I´m missing you still. Those years spent with you were the best times of my life. One thing is for sure is that we made an amazing young man together. He is beautiful inside and out, and I thank you for that, Brandon is doing amazing! Also you were such a great Dad to our three children. I still can´t understand,why did it end so fast .i just know I will love you eternally and meet you again someday.

It seems like yesterday on Ave L
Johnny and I came over to Pattys
For a barbecue and you guys told
Us you were getting married , I was
So happy for you both , then Brandon
Was born , you guys moved to Colorado
So did mom and then jimmy & Joe .
What great times when we leased the ski cabin for Thanksgiving ! I was so happy
For you guys, You all were the family
That each of you desired and needed .
Then the news you were sick , how could that be , you just finished the granite
Countertop, I never believed God would
Take you but He did , your space is still
Here you could never be replaced .
You left a family who will always love and
miss you and everyone who knew you ,
Were better for it . You are missed , you
are remembered .

Oh my dear brother. Its 8 years. Its no different. The pain is the same. The only thing that is different is the level
Of loneliness. Mom is gone too. So here I am. Alone. Without the fabric of my life. The fabric that I had no clue was so closely knitted together. I dream about us in the house in Avenue I. People talk about winning the lottery. My dream would be to go back to that house and have us all together again. I miss you and think of you all the time I miss dad and mom too I feel like an orphan now. How weird 60 years old and I still have no clue I wish we could go back in time and have a do over. Most of all. I wish that you and I could have one more conversation. I miss you and I love you. I believe that you hear me. I have to. Goodnight. My best friend. My brother.

Still missing you everyday. I always will. I hope that one day we will see each other again. I'm so sorry for your family. Patti Brandon Jenna Erica and the baby. Who isn't a baby anymore. Wish things weren't the way that they are. Maybe one day we will find our way back. I don't know. I do however know that you will never be forgotten. Not by anyone who knew you. Love you everyday.

Artie
It was a long time ago, though it seems like only
yesterday. I remember vividly the very first time we met.
Two young kids heading in opposite directions down
troy avenue on our old Stingray bicycles with the big
handlebars and the banana seats. WOW we were cool !!!
We stopped at exactly the same moment, gave each
other a quick glance and ran as fast as we could to be
the first one to ring Robby’s doorbell.
I remember Robby introducing us. I will never forget it.
What I remember most that day was that contagious
laugh of yours. That was the start of a friendship that
lasted for 45 years.
During those years we had some of the best times of our
lives.
I remember Sunday mornings at your house and your
Mom getting so mad at us for eating all the bagels, of
course we would just blame it on Walter.
We built fast cars and even faster Motorcycles.
Spent half our lives hanging out on street corners.
Ate Hot Dogs at Utica Joes.
Drank a little too much on that snowy Christmas Eve.
Saturday night dances in the basement at St.Vincent
Ferrer.
The Beach Parties at night at Riis Park, Rockaway and
Breezy point.
Ten of us stuffed into my Dads Ford Station Wagon to go
watch the drag races.
I could go on and on and on.
I guess, remembering you will always keep you alive in
my heart.
So to you I say:
WE WILL MEET AGAIN MY FRIEND
IN A TIME DISTANT FROM TODAY
FAR AWAY FROM WHERE WE LIVED
AND WHERE WE USED TO PLAY
WE WILL KNOW EACH OTHERS EYES
YOUR LAUGH WILL SOUND FAMILIAR
THE GOODNESS OF YOUR HEART, I WONT FORGET
AND WHEN I APPROACH THE TIME TO SEE YOU AGAIN
I KNOW FOR SURE THAT REACHING OUT OF THE LIGHT
WILL BE YOUR LAUGHTER, YOUR SMILE
AND THE TOUCH OF A HAND THAT I HAVE KNOWN
BEFORE
THE HAND OF A FRIEND I COULD NEVER FORGET
I WILL NOT SAY GOODBYE
FOR WE WILL MEET AGAIN OLD FRIEND, I AM SURE OF
THIS

I miss you so much. We havent really seen each other that much through the years, but, my memories are strong. I hold you in my heart. I cry for the fact that I will never be able to tell you how much that I always loved you. And still do. I feel an empty space that only you can fill....

To everyone who left these beautiful messages to my brother, I would like to extend our gratitude. They are such a comfort to my mother and I. It gives us great joy to know how many people loved him and recognized how wonderful of a person he was. He was very fortunate to be the father of three children. He loved them all. Im sure that he will be dearly remembered by them as well.. Once in a lifetime you find a great friend, Artie was that friend to all

Crossing the Bar
Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of the bar,
When I put out to sea,
But such a tide as moving seems asleep,
Too full for sound and foam,
When that which drew from out the boundless deep
Turns again home.
Twilight and evening bell,
And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness of farewell,
When I embark;
For tho' from out our bourne of Time and Place
The flood may bear me far,
I hope to see my Pilot face to face
When I have crost the bar.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
