Uncle Art was a fine uncle in some of my formative childhood and young adult years. He could be full of fun and song and his voice was sonorous and at times, stentorian.

Art and I were classmates at Yale and members of the Thomas More choir led by the late Johannes Somary. Art had a great singing voice. I was also an attorney and enlisted his legal expertise in representing,along with Richard Ben-Veniste (another former AUSA, two defendants in an interesting federal securities fraud criminal case in the SDNY. I will miss his mellow approach to life.

Dear Nancy, I learned of Arthur's passing this last week and was very sorry to hear it. I did not know him well but always enjoyed an occassional dance or meeting along the line in a dance. I just wanted you to know that I am thinking about you.
