Happy Birthday Daddy it’s been 7 years in Heaven. I can’t tell you how much you are missed, your jokes, your laugh, your tough guy approach to handling things. I think about us dancing at my wedding to “You and me against the world” by Helen Reddy the song you used to sing to me as child. The wonderful memories of growing up and having you as a Dad. I am crying writing this. Well until we meet again…take care of Mom!!!

Funny, honest, hard working, kind, gentle, generous but thrifty, animal lover, nature lover, sentimental, fair, good driver, a man's man, could sell you ice in the winter, loved women, all of these words describe Artie. Many years of good times, some sad, and many laughs. We will miss you greatly, but know you will always be in our hearts and with us. Rest in peace.

Sorry and sad to hear about Arties passing .I know Artie for over 40 years from when my dad had a shop and from my own shop for over 37 years Artie always was a professional sales guy who know his stuff and showed you new products that benefited your shop . Artie also had a sharp wit and a good sense of humor .We would always get a laugh about my fathers Dutch accent ,even my father laughed. he would imitate my father when he said ''Artie you sold me this tube of glue 5 years ago and the last bit dried up ,are you going to give me a new one'' I'll miss Artie he was a old school guy.

Artie was one of a kind ! I worked with him a lot on the phone, he always wanted to do the face time and he would always say , hey your looking purty good ! He just had a way to make you feel good about your self, we got to know each other quite a bit. Before hanging up he would comment, hey thanks KID! He will be missed dearly.

Dad you are were an incredible man. You made me laugh all my life. All I ever wanted was to be a Daddy's girl and for you to Love Me. I am so happy you said you loved me the day before you passing.

ARTIE WILL ALWAYS BE REMEMBERED BY THE SALESMAN AND FRIEND WHO WOULD THINK NOTHING OF CALLING TO SEE IF WE NEEDED ANYTHING AT 530 IN THE MORNING, HE ALWAYS SEEMED LIKE HE HAD BEEN UP FOR HOURS MAKING THESE PHONE CALLS, ALWAYS LEFT YOU LAUGHING BEFORE HE WOULD FINISH HIS CALL. ARTIE YOU WILL BE GREATLY MISSED..

Artie will be missed greatly. He always called early in the morning to place his order with us. On good days, he would always say "Thank you, Angel." Our prayers are with his family at this time.

I have so many lovely memories of Artie. He was a great person who made my day at work a little better when I got to speak to him. He was so special to all of us in the sales department at Disco Automotive. He will be missed by all who knew him! Prayers for his family and friends as they mourn the loss of a great man!
Traci Cates left a message on September 11, 2015:
Artie would call Disco and at times I would get the call...he always made me giggle after we had hung up the phone, he knew exactly what he needed and would not beat around the bush to tell me. He will be missed. I felt once Artie was comfortable with giving me an order that I was trusted. We all loved Artie here at Disco Automotive.
