My life with Artie, Arthur, Steve, and Paul Donato goes back many years. Even way back then, the sweet, gentle soul that was Artie shined like a bright light in the chaos of the retail world. Family, faith, and friends with loyalty, dignity, and fun...that was Artie. RIP Artie, you have left a hockey rink filled with your goodness and treasured memories.

Barbara & Family, Artie was truly "one of a kind." There are givers and takers in life and Artie was definitely a "very sincere & devoted giver." Even after years apart, his smile, his handshake, and his pat on the back always made me feel like it was 1962 all over again. Farewell old friend. Until we meet again. God Speed, Artie Venezia!

To the Venezia family - I was deeply saddened to read of Artie's death. Artie was my first boyfriend (7th grade). Even then he had a sweet, fun loving, generous spirit and was a great hockey player!
We always hope the best ones will live forever. So long Artie - you were one of the best.
