A Tribute to my Brother---Arthur J. Monaco
There are some special people in our lives that never leave us even after they are gone. Art Monaco was one of those special people. He was an outstanding and wonderful man who led a very active and full life. Art put his mark on those of us who were fortunate to know and love him for whom he was----a generous, caring, fun loving man who always tried to bring out the best in others.
Art was extremely affable and enjoyed engaging with others and building long lasting friendships. Over the years, he made many friends primarily through his tax business which he was still actively working on before his passing.
When I visited him last week in the hospital, he expressed a deep concern about his clients. He told me it was getting more difficult for him to keep up with the work, but they were dependent upon him and he couldn’t let them down. This speaks volumes to the kind of person he was---dependable, conscientious hardworking, and extremely loyal.
The one thing that was more important than his work was his devotion to his wife, Kathy and his family. He always found time for his children and in later years he adored and pampered his grandchildren.
Yes, Art you may be gone---but never-never forgotten.
Brother, after your long journey may you rest in peace.
With love, your brother---Eugene
