Arthur Udem Obituary

UDEM, ARTHUR A., of Pembroke Pines, died on Thursday, July 13, 2006, exactly 3 weeks after his wife and lifetime companion of 67 years died in a tragic car accident. Arthur met and married his beloved wife Judith after graduating from college in Riga, Latvia in 1939. It was due to Arthur's urging that the couple fled to America in 1940 and became the sole holocaust survivors of both their families. They settled in New York City where they raised their 2 children, Attorney Edith Osman of Miami and Dr. Stephen (Sharon Nathan) Udem of New York City. They were a fiercely independent and proud couple. After, they moved to Miami and helped care for their two grandchildren, Jackie (Brad) Crabill and Daniel Osman, who they adored. Most recently, Arthur took great pleasure in visits with his great granddaughter, Mia. Chapel services will be held at: LEVITT-WEINSTEIN MT. NEBO-KENDALL CHAPEL 5900 SW 77TH AVENUE MIAMI - (305) 274-0641 To visit this Guest Book Online, go to www.herald.com/obituaries.

Little did I know that when I spoke here three weeks ago to eulogize my dear friend, Judith, that I would be standing here again today expressing my emotions for her beloved husband, Arthur.



In my mind, the tragic accident that claimed both their lives in such a short period of time is incomprehensible, but I do believe that after being together in life for 67 years, God did not want them separated even at this time.



Arthur was a quiet, ethical, dignified person with a keen sense of humor. He was very much involved with stamps and coins, and was always willing to share his knowledge, enthusiasm, and understanding with others.



Arthur was always ready and able to help others when the occasion arose, and I will always remember him as an honorable, peace-loving, and gentle man. He was intellectual, knowledgeable, and had a high regard for education and self-development, and it was always a pleasure to be in his company.



Life is so ephemeral, but Arthur will never be forgotten by his devoted family and friends, and we will always keep his memory alive in our hearts, where it will endure as a blessing forever.
