Sorry for your loss. I believe I grew up with Artie on Ely Ave in the Bronx. RIP

I leased a Service Station from Artie in the early 1990's. He was quite a legend in the gas station business in Dutchess County, NY. I still can remember his red,  orange and yellow tow trucks that where parked at all his gas stations,  which were all on prime comers. 

He always gave me fatherly advice and tried to teach me the best way to do things. He was a true gentleman. Unfortunately we didn't keep in touch. Today I looked him up online to try to send him a message and was saddened to see his obituary.  My prayers to his family.

So sorry the loss.  I've known Artie since 1970. I met him at "Artie's Exxon" 
We have kept in contact over the years.  My Dad and Mom stayed at his guest house and visited most every fall as they passed through SC. When my dad was not able to drive any longer I dove him to visit for a family event. 
The last time I seen Artie was at a Mexican restaurant in Fishkill NY . He was passing through the area .  We called each other once or twice a year. Today I couldn't get through.   We would talk for an hour or more at a time.. 
So sad for his loss..

When I joined the Charlotte Civic Orchestra in 2009 Artie encouraged my son to join the section. Though he had some experience in orchestra, he was very shy having just moved and being about half the age of the next youngest member. Artie quickly made him feel at home and became his music mentor. Our one unforgettable visit to his house was like a trip to both a museum and a factory. I will never forget the racks of sets in various stages of preparation to become gifts to Charlotte youth unable to procure their own, the bass and other marimbas he built and toured with, and his ever present smile. We since moved away and were unaware of his passing, or we would have been there as two of his countless friends and fans. We missed him before and even more now. 

Artie was a very dear friend. I miss talking to him every day. He was truly one of the last great men on this planet.

Sad to hear of Arties passing.  He was a very compassionate man who helped me on many occasions.  Later in life when I’d run into him he was always his usual personable self.  The world was a much better place with him in it.

I just found out Artie is gone...from the times we would see each other at Yen’s...I had just seen him a few months before he left us..I was in the new store and we were chatting about different things...RIP Artie....

I met Artie in Charlotte about 15 years ago.  Just found out he passed away.   In case Artie is reading this, I wanted him to know I considered him a friend and had a lot of admiration for his desire to be kind to people.   He was always generous to me and to one of my sons whom he befriended.

I would have been at the service if I had known my friend.

You were a good man.

Artie was a beloved friend thru many years playing together in the Civic Orchestra.  Just one of those guys you could really warm up to.  Such a twinkle in his eyes!  I got to talk to him when he was in the hospital by a fortuitous phone call.  He sounded upbeat at that time.  So very sorry to hear then that he had passed away. My heart has an empty spot now. Much love and sympathy to Josh and Marissa.

Arthur was my friend and we met in Charlotte in mid 2017.  We found that we had  some common friends in Poughkeepsie back in NY from the 1970’s. Its a small world but he made it nicer one for me.  He was unique!

We will greatly miss Artie as he was a great man and shared his love
of music, especially percussion.  

As my husband was Principal Percussionist of the Charlotte Symphony for
many, many years, he sometimes  needed information about a particular
percussion instrument or a repair to one of his own percussion instruments.
Artie ALWAYS had the information or knew where he could locate a rental
Instrument for an upcoming concert.

Artie was a true gentleman, and owned a personality of humor and 
kindness.  Our thoughts go out to the family as you face the days ahead
without Artie.  He was a very special person to many people.

Mrs. Peyton Becton. (Connie)

I worked for Artie at Super Service during high school and first year of college. The memories made working with him, his family, Eddie, and Jewel have been some of the best.
Artie told me if I could work at a car wash, I could work anywhere. He was right.
He always watched out for me and we always ended up having a good time.
My sympathies to the family. Love each and every one of you and wish you the best and peace during this time. 
Fair well my friend until we meet again on the other side. Casey

Artie Lieberman was a big man and that is not a fact about just his physical size. He came from humble beginnings then had an unending stream of big ideas he turned into big realities. To me, Artie was simply Mr. Percussion. While our relationship began playing together in the Charlotte Concert Band, it grew into a friendship that I will always remember. I will be telling stories about Mr. Percussion as long as I can.
