Artie was an amazing, funny, tough person with so many accomplishments to be proud of most impressive to me, his wonderful family !
He will be sorely missed by so many people.
A quote I remember -
"No sense being stupid unless you show it!"
Kathy - what a great picture!
My prayers are with his family - Shirley
