Arthur Barretta Obituary

Our Father Mr. Arthur Barretta was taken from us by the Angels on January 28, 2011. Arthur was born November 8, 1924 in Brooklyn, New York. Arthur served our Country for over 25 years. He is survived by his Ex-Wife Yumi, Son Martin Barretta, Daughter Phyllis Barretta and Mr. Mitsuz. If Heaven serves alcohol we know Arthur is standing on the 1st hole playing golf with his son and our late brother. Arthur is having no more pain in his body and he is looking down on us saying "Salute" Arthur's wishes were to have no services, but to all his Family and Friends have a drink in his name at home in his name! Arrangements handled by Dove-Witt Family Mortuary.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
