I only knew Artie 16 months, but in that time I learned that he was the most generous, kind-hearted, loving father and loving soul mate in the world. Most important to Artie was his children. Next in line was his work. He loved his job driving tractor trailer. That was one of the favorite parts of his life and he died doing what he loved to do, driving his truck. Artie was very devoted to taking care of his physical health and thrived on walking every day he could. That was his ultimate high. He was always there for his childrens sporting events, practices, games, band or whatever it may be. You almost had to wonder how he did it all. Plus on top of that, he was always there for me and my son. I don't know what I'll do without this man in my life. He was such a positive influence. I will miss him so very dearly.
