Arthur Blasi was my Great Uncle. When I say Great I mean he was a “GREAT” Uncle. He was a real American Hero. Uncle Arthur taught me the value of family and loyalty to one’s family. He taught me the value of a dollar. He was very wise. Most of all he was very matter of fact which to me was something great. I have learned a lot from my uncle. I wish I would have had more time with him. You will always live inside of ME Uncle Arthur.
Arthur, the tears that keep coming are proof of how much you will be missed by myself and my family. To know you was to know a truly good soul and a wonderful, generous person. I could list 100 more adjectives describing you but instead I will just say that all those words are why I named my son, Arthur, the joy of my life…after you. You were like my father and you were one of my very best friends. Thank you for being so kind to all my family over the years. My deepest heartfelt condolences to all of Arthur’s family, especially Millie who I love dearly and who all my family loves very much. Your sadness is my sadness….he will always be remembered….

so sorry for your loss of Arthur. Will be unable to join you today/tomorrow but will be with you in thought. Many happy memories of our growingup years together. Say Hello to the “kids” ( like mine, I now say they are getting older than I am,at least in spirit). Stay in touch – phone 603-898-2045 Much love, Vicki
Dear Mildred, I just picked up the EB Times and was shocked to hear Arthur passed away. He called me a few weeks ago to say “hi”, and said he was feeling good, I am shocked. I know how close you both were and know how much you will miss him. Hope you and the family are well. Sincere Sympathy Bernadette Cantalupo
