Dr Arceci was so kind and compassionate to us. He give us the information we needed to handle the very rare disease that took the life of our daughter Chrissie Stallard Klink. He made follow up phone calls regarding Chrissie progress. Words cannot express how fortunate we were to have known him and considered him a friend. Maybe they will meet up in heaven

What I still miss most about Bob is his wicked sense of humor. He was one of a kind in so many ways. My best to Jean and the "boys."
Love, Helen (Rezendes)

Jean, John, and Andrew

I have known Bob over the years as a prominent, eminent Pediatric Oncologist but had the pleasure to really spend time with him on a trip to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Since then, his candor, kindness, smile, and always, always seeing the bright horizon has become and indelible memory. He spoke of you all with such love, warmth, and pride and wherever he went, he wanted to share the moments with you. We have cumulatively lost a father, husband, friend, colleague, mentor, leader, and visionary. I will forever be thankful of having had him touch my life and the lives of so many.

Jean, John, and Andrew,
I met your husband and father almost 32 years ago in 1983 at Children's Hospital in Boston. I was 17 and he was my pediatric oncologist. He was more than a doctor for me and became a friend. I cannot truly express in words how sad I am for your loss. Dr. Arceci was an amazing individual who did so much for so many so selflessly. My prayers are with you all in this time.

Dear Jeanie, John and Andrew,
Our hearts ache for you at this time. Cousin Bob, although a cousin in-law, never felt that way...he is family of the best kind. Although we are far away in Florida, we keep you in our prayers through this life changing loss. We stand on the fact that we WILL meet again and Bob will be there, compassionate as always, welcoming us in.
Love, Janet and Rick

Dear Jeanie and Arceci Family-I true giant has passed and will be greatly missed by all who knew him. Great memories of traveling with you and Bob, and we are in awe of all of his accomplishments. His passing leaves a void that we can only try to fill with memories, continuing his work, and surviving as he in his calm and thoughtful way would desire for us all.
