I had worked with Art for the past 15 years at CNC where many times Art and I would congregate and talk about our lives. Art always talked about his family telling me stories about the girls. As always a huge smile would come across his face and he would light up with happiness and contentment when relating all those happpy times. Artie was a great friend and will be missed.

There is a warm place in my heart that Artie has held for as long as I can remember. My memories are long and I will cherish them forever. And as his girls grow I will fill their hearts with all of the love he has given throughout his life. He will be missed greatly and thought of daily. May he rest in peace no longer with pain and beside us in spirit forever. I love you Artie, forever Festivus, forever my big brother. I will see you again someday and until then I will try to live my life as you did. Good game, good food and the best of the best ice cold beer. God Bless
