“Patricia and family, my wife Valerie and I are very saddened to learn of Artie's passing. Though we haven't been in touch for some time, I want you to know I have so many happy and warm memories of family get-togethers and events when we were all so young during very innocent years. These stay with me, and despite the time gone they always bring me a smile. You and Artie are part of my happy recollections. May these glowing embers of good days and love remain forever in your heart too. Bob Sacco”

“Art was always a gentleman, and a great Poker player. We will always remember No Checkie and at times a force to be reckoned with. Tonight at our Poker game, we took a moment to remember Art and some kind words from Canter Dave. We know on all Monday and Thursday nights we hope you’re in a poker game. With some friends and saying. No Checkie. Rest in peace our Brooklyn friend. Ellie and Phil Krey Cresswind 09/07/2026”
