Arnold S. Rosenfeld

I worked with Arnold at the Houston Post and helped recruit him to the Detroit Free Press. I then recruited him for Television City Room, a strike program I started at WTVS-TV in 1967. Among other things, he read the comics on the air with Mary Ann Weston. He returned the favor when I gave up and went to law school by offering me a job at the Dayton Daily News. He was a gentle genius. I'm sorry we lost track of one another, but I have a picture of him in my mind, putting out his...

Every opportunity that I had to speak to Uncle Arnold in person was an amazing experience. He was very well spoken, creative and humorous. I surely miss him as I am sure everyone else does. My wife and I wish the family and friends our thoughts and prayers.

Arnold was our beloved brother-in-law for over 50 years. He was a treasure for our family and a great inspiration to all who loved books...Arnold had a huge library, every volume of which had been read and reread. He passed that love of reading on to his children and grandchildren, giving them the whole world at their fingertips. His passing is a great loss to all of us who loved him dearly.

Arnold was a passionate story-teller and a caring editor with a world view that extended beyond the cities he called home. He loved words and people, using one to reach out to the other. He will be missed.

Although Arnold at long last has lost his valiant fight to live, his sweet soul and indominable spirit lives on in our truly saddened hearts and most cherished memories.

Arnold, I love you.

Arnold was, as many of you have said, one of the wittiest, most erudite, kindest journalists I've known. Way, way back in 1968 during a long newspaper strike in Detroit, Arnold and I and other Free Press folks did a television news show. Among other duties I read the comics. For every strip, Arnold wrote a pungent punchline. It was a great hit and for years after, I was recognized as the woman who read the comics on TV. But it really was Arnold's funny punchlines people remembered.

It's a profound experience to look through these messages from friends, colleagues and readers of Arnold Rosenfeld. I knew him as my uncle, the quiet and witty counterbalance to my vivacious aunt. We thought we would lose him fifteen years ago, but thanks to his boundless fighting spirit, one more generation of our family has grown up knowing "Uncle Arnold."
