Bartholomew Arioso

My father passed away peacefully, surrounded by love and comfort. Helen and I were with him everyday during his month long illness laughing with him, learning from him, and gaining a better understanding of the man he was. He was preceded in death by his loving wife Margo, who I am sure greeted him at the gates of Heaven with loving arms and a beautiful smile. My father retired from Middle Country Schools many years ago, but I am sure there are many people in the community whose lives he touched and influenced in some way. My father was a great story teller, and published a novel called "Few Are Chosen". He is survived by his loving and devoted daughter and daughter in law Edythe and Helen Arioso, his sisters and brothers RoseMarie and Michael Caputo, Nancy and Anthony Imperato, Joseph and Annette Arioso, and many loving nieces and nephews. His is also survived by Robin Aceste and family, and Marie Klages and family.
