Dear Shelli, Eric, Mitchel , Robert & family
Joe & I were so sad to hear of Artie’s loss. He was a true gentleman, generous & kind! So many memories of him helping me when we would officiate the hockey games! He would never hesitate to pick me up when I only had 1 car so Debbie was stranded at home! When our son Joe Jr wanted to get engaged he helped him get a diamond ring from NY! The chain & cross that I wear on my neck every day will forever be a reminder of our dear friend! We will never forget our friendship !
Our deepest sympathies to the entire family.
Debbie & Joe DeOrsey
