Arthur Falek

I was so saddened learning of Arthur's death. I met Arthur in, I think it was 1947, in Camp Delwood, PA, where we were counsellors in an all summer boys camp.I was immediately drawn to Arthur—his intellect, his wit, his simlply, goodness. The tears—for Arthur and his famiily, colleagues, and the loss to the world—flowed. I will never forget his marriage to Rhoda {which was a glorious "Blast"}, his advice {which to my regret I almost never accepted}, and for his friendship, which I shall...

James, I'm so sorry about your father. The world is lucky to have had him. Hope you're doing well.

I am very saddened to learn of Arthur's death. I worked for him at GMHI from 1994-1996. I think the highlight of that was taking a day trip to South Georgia to monitor a reseach project. I drove and he rode shotgun. It was a most enjoyable trip with his sense of wit and humor. We met with two of the research field interviewers, had lunch with them and it was an educational as well as delightful time. I had just finished graduate school and I recall his door always was open. He was a...

We are saddened at the passing of Dr.Falek. With sincere sympathy to his family - May you find peace in the memories of times past and comfort from the love of those who care about you.

Like everyone before me, I am saddened at the passing of Dr. Falek. He was so kind to me when I first got involved with learning about Tay Sachs and working with those families in the mid 70's. He made me feel inportant and intelligent. I valued his friendship greatly. My condolenses to his family on their loss.

I was shocked and saddened to learn of the death of Dr. Falek. I had been thinking of him earlier this week. I had the good fortune of being affiliated with Dr. Falek at GMHI from 1969 to 1975. These were the "wonderful years" and I look back on them with much fondness. Because of the interest I gained from working with Dr. Falek I am still in the field of mental health. To Rhoda, Linda and James (as well as other family and friends) I extend my sincere condolences. I am certainly proud...

The death of Arthur Falek is a great loss to all that knew him. My deepest sympathy to his family and friends.

My family and I have called Arthur and Rhoda friends and neighbors for over 15 years. In addition to just being fun and enlightening to talk with, Arthur was key in putting us in contact with the right professionals in our travels thru the maze of developmental issues and diagnostic methods for our two daughters. We are forever in his debt and will miss him.
