Dear Phyllis, Stephen, Douglas and Family,
Our heartfelt condolences to you at this sad time in your lives. We remember those wonderful years long ago as good neighbors in Baldwin in the early 1960's. You continued the journey to New City, then to Simsbury and Bonita Springs. It was always good to talk to one another for we treasured our long distance friendship. Arnold's modest, soft spoken manner was the true meaning of the word gentleman. He will be missed by all who knew him. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Peace and Love,
Marion, Stan and Family

Arnold was a great colleague and a wonderful friend. I have often reminisced about the long noontime walks, the Friday luncheons ( in NYC )and especially the canoe trip in the
Adirondacks. He was one of my closest friends at Otis and I shall always be thinking of him.

I had the privelege of knowing Arnold as a colleague and a friend for 30 years. I worked closely with him at Otis Elevator Co. and reported to him for a while at one stage. Arnold was always a caring, compassionate person who gave so much of himself in everything he did. It is a credit to him that a research center was named in his honor at the Otis facility in Mexico. Most important, Arnold was a mensch! Deepest sympathy to Phyllis, Stephen, Doug and family. Lou Bialy
