Emmitt, you were definitely your fathers pride and joy. When we went to lunch,or I just hung out with my buddy Artie he always bragged on his son Emmitt. I will miss your dad alot. Go Pats and Brady!!

Getting to live with you all for those few months is one of my favorite times. Having dinner with Arty, , enjoying being with (then) very young Emmett, talking about random things...he was always ready to laugh.  He had such a big personality! I am going to miss him.  

Uncle Arty was the most authentic man I have ever had the luck of knowing. He was just real and honest to the core. I will miss his memorable laugh, his legendary stories and his company at the family gatherings. Rest easy.

One of the funniest people I have ever met. Glad I was lucky enough to get to know him. I’ll never forget the laughs he gave me, Rest In Peace

Sue and Emmett, this is a very tough loss to take.  Ellen and I hope your pain is lessened knowing that Arty is at peace.  He was a fun loving guy who quickly became a big part of our family.  We will always remember his smile and laugh at all the family cookouts and gatherings.  Arty you will not be forgotten. In your own words, "Bye Bye". We'll see you on the other side. We'll miss you.
