To Arnold's children: I am Patty, the oldest daughter of Elaine Marcus London, who remained in touch with your dad, since their days at the High School of Music & Art, until our mom died five years ago. She thought your dad to be one of the most talented set designers and alumni from that School; and I have memories of accompanying my mom to one of your dad's Broadway shows so that he could show us around and provide me with all sorts of interesting drawings that I could show my high school drama class. My family treasures the portrait of our mom that your dad painted. May his memory be a blessing.

Rise, I'm so sorry to hear about your father. He was a giant to all of us scenics, but to you, just your dad--what an experience for you and great influence. My heart goes out to you and your family.

The best father a man could ask for. Gave his all, asked for nothing. I will miss you, be at peace.
