"I am so saddened to hear of Arts passing. Thinking back to my childhood, some of my best memories were spent with my cousins. No matter what we ended up doing, my time with them was always cherished and highly anticipated. And even though we lost touch as everyone was doing their own thing and living their life, I am extremely grateful for the time we shared. I feel fortunate though that through Facebook I was able to know what a wonderful family and life Art has had. I loved Artie (and still love, will always love) with every ounce of my broken heart. I hope you enjoy these photos. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you during your time of sorrow. May all your memories help you through this difficult time. "
