Stacey, I have so many good memories of spending time with you both when I was a kid. Arthur was a lot of fun to be around... he was always game for a swim in the pool, football, a ride on the moped or dinner in Little Italy.. I want to thank you for all you did for me back then and I am so very sorry for your loss.

I was truly lucky to have been able to work with "Dr. A" at SWCHC when I was there as a newly-minted social worker. I learned a great deal from him, truly enjoyed his sense of humor and appreciated his commitment to the patients he served. I hope that you, his family, can find some comfort in the number of lives he touched. He made the world a better place for many people who were usually accustomed to receiving poor quality or no services at all. He also made a heck of a co-worker. He will be sorely missed.
