Artie was a young man of 22 when I met him, and I remember his laughter the most. He always saw the lighter side of things, and through the years he has kept that sense of humor. Another special memory of Artie is his attachment to his immediate family. His kindness and affection was truly recognized. I've seen pictures of when he was a young boy and have good memories of him as a man. He was a nephew to be proud of. All my love and prayers are with each one of you.

It is with the heaviest of hearts that we have this final meeting of our heartfelt memoirs of the young Artie Fels. Doesn't seem right, that his journey in this life has been shorten. But the plans of life or not left up to us to decide, only how we may choose to live it to the fullest. I for one will miss him deeply as he is my very first nephew and always will be. That will not change like the many good memories of Artie, especially of when we were younger. All the days and weekends we shares at the clubhouse, brought many of us closer together, And I do miss it and think of it often. I am so glad he was able to find his own place to treasure, a place he could call his own,and where he was able to get the most pleasure and enjoyment. Life and Love starts with Forever and ends with Never, and Artie is certainly a part of that. Uncle Don
