Thanks to all and to Rick for this Tribute story of his life and dedication to our sport.. He was a real close friend of mine.. I worked for him in the early days from 1984 to 1991.. He was always trying to make our cars faster and run cooler with more HP.. His father wanted me to work for them and add welding to there already sucessful radiator bussiness...I helped him with my tig welding skills ( he was a good mig welder already) and I learned cooling systems...From that point on Artie was unstoppable.. He was a workaholic and always coming up with ways to improve anything...We will all miss his humor and great fabrication skills...Rest In Peace my friend Artie...I will miss you...Howie.
