I've had the honor of knowing Mr. Koppel through his son Scott for over 25 years. He was always a very supportive parent to Scott always there to help him through troubled waters. I always thought Scott had the coolest dad , he skied, knew how to party, and had the best sense of humor. Mr. Koppel will be missed by all of us.

I will greatly miss my loving father-in-law, Arnold Koppel, who always made me feel like such a welcome part of his cherished family. He was so kind to me and my two daughters and truly was a blessing to our lives. His memory will always live on in our hearts. May he always rest in peace. With loving thoughts, Mona Koppel
