Arthur Escalona Obituary

Esther, It is Dec. 11, and I just saw on the internet the passing of your husband Art. I don't know if you will remember me my name is Georgia Laurino (Pavek). We worked together so very long ago at General Electric Supply Co. on Clinton St. in Chgo. I sat right in front of you. Remember our boss, Ronnie. I am so very sorry to hear of Art's passing. I remember so many of his stories. I always thought you were one of the nicest couples I ever knew. What's amazing is how often through the years I thought of you both and remembered your names and also where you use to live at that time.
The Lord Jesus be with you and your family.
I would love to hear from you my email is: [email protected]

My Dearest Aunt Esther,
I love you very much. My Uncle Art what can I say. If it wasn't for him always telling me of how proud he was and how i was his favorite(Shhh)I would not be where I am today. He always wanted to see me go off to college and be happy. I am mourning the loss of my uncle Arthur but enjoying and remembering the memories i hold deep in my heart.

God,s speed home to a Valiant man with
a Golden heart. Thank you for sharing your life with us. Our prayers are with you.
Respectfully and Lovingly Yours,
Rey and Debbie Zapata

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. It was obvious through our friendship Lara how much your father meant to you and your whole family. My thoughts are with you and your family through this difficult time.

My Dearest Esther, I came to this page right after Lara called me this morning and though I knew this time would come words cannot express how I feel. Art has been on my mind these past few days. I remember the funny, sweet, and loving man that Art is. Did he ever finish his car? :-) I will remember Art with that car and with his garden and most of all with you and his family. You two have a marriage made in heaven and I am a firm believer you will be together again. Esther, my dearest friend, my deepest and heartfelt sympathies and prayers are with you and your family.

I was so sad to hear of the passing of Mr. Escalona. I met him when Lara and I were friends in high school. He was a loving and devoted husband, father, and grandfather...who loved his family deeply. He we be missed by all. My thoughts and prayers are with your family during this difficult time.

Dear Family,
I can still see Arthur in my mind's eye, standing on the porch at the Halstead street house, looking sharp in his navy hat and uniform. That's how I shall remember him, forever young, with a cocky smile and the whole world before him.
Sincerest condolences at this time of loss.
Love,
Calita and Fred Pisapia

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.
