Tim, Dan and Suzie- I am so very sorry for your loss. I am also very sorry that I could not make the Memorial. Artie was a very close friend as you all know (I must have stayed over your house a hundred times!) I am so glad I got to see Artie earlier this year when I came back to Belleville. I have so many fond memories of Artie, Timmy and a bunch of us from St. Mary's playing hockey on your lake from sun up to sun down in super cold weather, and us coming inside just long enough to eat lunch that your mom made us! Artie will truly be missed by many.

Artie was a sweet young man and was a rock for me when I lost George and my son. His memory will be carried in the hearts of everyone he touched in his short life. RIP Artie

I met Artie about 9 years ago via a mutual friend. Artie was a great friend, had a great sense of humor, but his loyalty is what always stood out to me. You will be missed My friend! Gary and Jayne
