Atrie was Like a Dad to me growing up on Madison Ave in bpt. i lived across the street from A&A Arco and would hang out there after school. Artie would take me for rides in his Chevelle that had Only The Strong Survive on the trunk and his 63 Corvette the Giant Killer. he would bring me to his home to have pizza with him and his family. He made a huge impact on the direction my life took and will always be in my heart and memories. I now own a 72 Chevelle with Only The Strong Survive in the back window as a tribute and memory of the great impact he had on my life. God Bless you will never be forgotten.

I’m very sorry to hear of Artie’s passing. I haven’t seen him in so many years. I remember as kids I always went to his house to visit him when he was bed ridden from polio. That’s what they told us at the time. My prayers for him and the family. See Ya soon Cuz, I’m not far behind you.
