Arthur (Art) Cipoletti was born to Angela and Alphonse Cipoletti and grew up in Wellsburg, WV with his 7 siblings (Alphonse, Dorothy, Dan, George, Eva, Butch, Shirley). He met the love of his life, Shaney, on a blind date in Pennsylvania. They married in 1959 and moved permanently to Colorado Springs in 1970.
A family man in the truest sense of the word, Art dearly loved his wife of 61 years, their 8 children and spouses, and 19 grandchildren. Art continually looked after, supported, and cared for his family in a way that is cherished. He was a dedicated hard worker, an incredible listener, and extraordinary in his humility and kindness.

During President Barack Obama s administration, then Vice President Joe Biden would occasionally sneak into Sunday Mass at Holy Trinity Catholic Church in the Georgetown neighborhood of Washington, D.C. For security reasons, Biden would arrive late and leave early, as the Rev. Kevin Gillespie remembered it, but he would always stay for Holy Communion.
“He was just one of the crowd,” Gillespie recalled from those moments he celebrated the Mass. “From my vantage point, he walks his talk.”
Other D.C. religious leaders agree. They see a president who demonstrates how religion can be a driving force for good in their local communities. Just as Biden leaned on religion for comfort and healing from his personal pain and loss, D.C. religious leaders hope he’ll lean on his faith-based values to foster the kind of dialogue that will heal America’s open wounds.
