I had the good fortune to work with Arty at Home Depot in Riverdale in the plumbing department. He always had a smile for everyone. The first time we met he called me "Brother" and you really got the sense he meant it. He was always happy to see me when I came in and sad to see me go when I left. He was a dedicated worker and often had to be reminded to take a break or lunch. I reminded him of this so many times he gave me the nickname, Union. Never had a bad word for anyone. That thousand watt smile never dimmed. That is the way I will remember him. God take care of him please. He was one in a million. My condolences to his family.
