I’ve known Artie all my life he was my very first friend. If you were a close friend to Artie it was for life. He was a loyal friend that I never ever heard him say anything bad about anyone. Loved you like a brother and a void is now in my life and heart with your passing. Rest in peace brother til we meet again.

So sorry for your family’s loss, Candy. I remember Artie from Monrovia schools, and he was always there for his granddaughters’ functions.
Artie was a one of a kind. I loved his sense of humor.
Rest in Peace My Friend
God Bless you all! Love you all Cathy Griffith Richardson
I am so sorry I missed the service. Just found out about Artie’s passing today. Artie always made me feel welcome and was always so much fun to be around. He was a friend to anyone he met. Such a wonderful man he will truly be missed.
