Dear Family of our Beloved friend Arthur Judice,
We for most want to express our Deepest Sympathy for all the family of Arthur Judice.We were very blessed to not only enjoy the stories that Arthur shared but to have met and known such a loving Friend. We truly feel lucky and blessed to have had the opportunity to be his friend for the last 13 years. One of my fondest memories of Arthur is enjoying the uplifting music of Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra. We would listen to the whole C.D together and talk stories for hours. He will truly be missed by our family.If I could say one thing to Arthur it would be ” Thank you for our friendship, love you always”.

To the family of my patient and beloved friend, Arthur Judice–
Firstly I would like to express my heartfelt sympathy and condolences over the loss of Art. I miss him already, as do we all.
I will miss his gentle good humor and good-natured tolerance of an increasingly heavy burden of medical difficulties, and I appreciated your helping me to help him through these challenges. Thank you.
Our visits in the office were always heavily slanted toward friendship and a discussion of our shared passion for tennis. His medical complaints were often just an excuse to come in to the office and chat. Years ago I had asked him if he could possibly take the last appointment of the day so we could gab at length without keeping anyone waiting.
He was an exceptional person and a good friend. Rest in peace, Art.
