De Poi, Arthur
Retired Chief Petty Officer Arthur De Poi, CADRC, US Navy, age 83, was called home to our Lord and Savior on Wednesday, May 6, 2015. He was born on November 4, 1931 in the Bronx, NY. He very proudly served in the US Navy and retired in 1967. Arthur continued to serve others by working with the City of Albuquerque as a mechanic for the Albuquerque Police Department. There are two words that sum up Arthur's beliefs: service and patriotism. His hobbies included fishing and he was a proud and longtime member of the NRA. He was preceded in death by his nephew, BCSO Deputy James "Jimmy" McGrane, brother, Dino Giannini, mother, Julia Glusko, brother Allen De Poi. and aunt, Virginia De Poi, who passed away just a day before him.
