What can I say Arthur, From my first day at the VFMF box office till my last, you were my "father" you took me under your wing and taught me what I know today. Not only about the theatre but about life. The long talks, the wisdom, the one on ones after intermission. You were and will be the BEST. I will miss you.

Good bye Arthur,
You were a good friend for many years. You taught me well how to book children's shows and I will always remember the funny conversations we had about that. Rest well and know that every time a children's show plays at Westbury, it will be in your honor.

It was an honor to be Arthur's friend, poker buddy and admirer. His sense of humor, humility and gentleness will be missed. Arthur was an essential part of the success of the music fairs. I often sat in row AA thanks to AA who would say it was just a coincidence that my seats were so good. Always unassuming and forever the gentleman. June and Arthur's families should take comfort in knowing that heaven just scored a hit.

Arthur taught me so much about box office work at the Westbury Music Fair. I am honored to have known him. We also shared the same birthday and always sent each other well wishes. I will miss the phone calls, but I will never forget him.

May God Rest Your Soul,
