To Arty’s Family our sincere condolences on your loss. Dorothea was the sister of my father in law Harry Brown. My ex husband is Butch (Eric)Brown Butch talked about Arty and the short time they spent together as kids in RI. When Arty was reunited with his sister and NY cousins Butch felt a missing piece of his life had been found. Tina’s tribute to her Dad is the most moving I have ever read. A super hero indeed. Sympathy and blessings to the Rolfes Family.
