God looked around his Garden & found an empty place. He then looked down upon his earth & saw your loving face. He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest. His Garden must be beautiful, he always takes the best. He saw your path was difficult. He whispered to you "Peace be Thine" and gave you wings to fly. You've left us precious memories; you will live on through your son. It broke our hearts to lose you, but but we are grateful that we had the chance to love you. You will always be in our hearts.

Art, Elaine, Ashleigh, Noelle and Anthony, My thoughts are with you. I had the privelege of Art's company a couple of times. I know he was loved by all of you. I also know that he struggled for years and that he carried pain in his heart. He also had joy-- your love was among those joys. May the memories of the joy and love that all of you shared help ease some of the pain that, at this time, engulfs you. Art was a brave man. He touched my life in a deep way. Art is an inspiration to me and others of us who've had similar struggles. He will remain a driving force for me to continue working for justice for the vulnerable and injured. Anthony, your dad loved you very much. Please know that he made a difference by wanting you to live in a world where kids are safe and protected and respected. I send gentle thoughts to all of you. Pat

Art, I wish I got to know you better. I Know we would have been good friends.There was A time when I thought I should step aside, Because I know the best thing for anthony is for his parents to be together.Although I love Noelle more than I have ever loved anyone.And Anthony is the son I almost had. I know nothing can replace my son(who past). Anthony is what I would have hope for.I couldn't ask for a better son or a better brother for my daughter Bailey. I hope I can give him a fraction of the love and support you would have. I already love them as much as anyone could.And that will never change. they are a part of me. Your so loved and missed. I only hope I will meet your approval. Love Cliff and Bailey

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hey Kiddo, Although I may never have told you, I always thought of you as the younger brother I never had. When I think about you, I think about when you were an energetic little 2-year- old. You would come over our house on a Friday morning and wait for me to come home from school. When I walked through the door, you would put your music on, start dancing around and bug me to wrestle. There have also been some funny times, like the one, when you were 10, in which you tried to "bench" me during a friendly game of beach football, because you said I wasn't trying hard enough. One thing I'll never forget about you is your laugh and sense of humor. The crazier the story the harder you laughed. I know there were times when you would tell me crazy stories, just to laugh at the amazed look on my face. Most of the time I would oblige you, just to hear you laugh. That's something I'll hold dear to my heart and miss forever. Your son, Anthony, is a blessing and your legacy and will help us carry on. And god bless Noelle for doing a wonderful job raising him. I know it hasn't been easy for her, either. Arthur, you have always had a special place in my life. You'll never be forgotten and always be miss. Until I see you again, I love you. Uncle Joe

Dear Arthur, I can't stop thinking of the day you arrived in our family. Such a happy time. Our family was complete and my children had a cousin. We spent many hours at the football field and you were "A Star" You really could play that game. You did have a beautiful smile and a way to get through to my heart. I will never forget all of the memories of you during the first part of your life that I shared with you. You were loved very much. My sympathies go out to your family during this difficult time. Love always and YOU will never be forgotten and remain forever in my Heart. Aunt Knee.

My Cousin Arthur, I don’t even know where to begin. It’s been a while but I will always remember the good times we had shared like it was yesterday. I was always so proud to be you’re cousin. Arthur, growing up and always being together, I looked at you as being my older brother, I now had two older brothers to protect me growing up. We were as close as cousins could get. I remember all the dances we attended, friends houses we hung out at, going down the shore together, going to the gym together and most of all playing sports with each other Seeing you everyday of my life growing up was a joy. I’ll always remember the times we played football/basketball/baseball together at Calvary and Chalfont. We had one play at Calvary that our coach called “cousins right”, I would throw the football up and you were always there to catch it no matter what. You were a big part of my life. You were my FRIEND, my TEAMMATE and my COUSIN and I loved you very much. I will miss you always and I will never forget you. The memories we had together growing up will always be with me. My heart and prayers go out to you and you’re family. Rest in peace, my cousin Arthur. Love, You’re Cousin Always Chris

There are no words that can express the depth of the tragedy of your passing. I pray that you find peace as you rest. I came to say goodbye to you today, and met your beautiful son. You have left behind a "wondeful gift" to your family who will miss you very very much. I have known your mom since we were little kids, and I know, that the happiest time in her life was the day that you and your sister completed your mom and dad's life. God Bless you! You will never be forgotten!

Arthur, I remember you as a child and real pleasure to be around. I remenber every time I came over to see your mom and dad, it was you and I who played countless hours playing baseball in front of your NE home. I know your mom and dad could not wait for us to finish because we continued to throw the basebase at your father's newly painted garage door. Hell, we didn't care. We love the game and always wanted to say who won the game in the driveway when we went into the house. We never quit. You were never a quiter no matter what cards were dealt. I will always think of you as great kid who was dealt a bad hand on this earth. You were and are winner. People really loved you here and will continue to do so even in your absence. You have great parents that would do everything necessary for you to be successful. You have left us for now, but we will all meet someday to rejoice. Even though we have not seen each other in many years, the call from your mother hurt very much. You may have left us for now, but you will never be forgotten. In my book, you were a true competitor. Keep up the good work in Haven. I think I won the last game so I know you want a rematch. Love, Jim and Phil Cro

Little Artie, You will be greatly missed and we all hope you are finally at peace. You were so blessed with such caring and loving parents, a beautiful, sweet sister and a adorable son. Watch over them and protect them. I will never forget all the special memories I have of you down the shore. You and my brother John were "partners in crime". You always made us laugh! I will cherish the special times we had with our families at the shore and also our trip to Florida for Christmas 1993. There is one thing that can never be taken away, that is the memory of your beautiful smile and your laugh. Your handsome face and your sparkling blue eyes will always be remembered. Love, Dina
