ARTHUR ROSENBERG Obituary

ROSENBERG ARTHUR Founder of the Aranda Group, a Philadelphia area multiple family office service firm, and volunteer Angel Flight pilot, died on February 17, 2021 at home. He was 82. Arthur was born on June 26, 1938 in Philadelphia to Joe and Lillian Rosenberg. He was raised in Philadelphia where his father owned a flower shop in the 1930's and then a bar. Arthur served a short stint in the Army then graduated from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania where he served as the coxswain on Penn's Heavyweight Varsity 8 Crew. After many years in the financial services industry, Arthur established a firm to serve as both agent and family office for professional athletes. Started in 1980, Arthur Rosenberg & Associates, or The Aranda Group as it is known today, grew out of a desire to better prepare, organize and manage clients' busy and complex financial lives. Today it is a professional multiple family office service firm serving clients from throughout the east coast to across the country. Arthur was a long-time resident of Solebury Township where he served on the Planning Commission. He was instrumental in the formation of the Aquetong Valley Preserve, where landowners banded together and donated easements to protect over 900 acres from further development. Arthur had a lifelong passion for flying. He most recently flew solo to Cuba and Colorado, and has flown his plane across the Atlantic as far as Eastern Europe and North Africa. He flew for business, pleasure and as a volunteer pilot for Angel Flight East, flying patients to and from treatment. He is survived by his two sons and their families – Steven Rosenberg, his wife, Tara, and stepdaughter, Brailyn Robertson, of Plymouth Meeting, PA and Andrew Rosenberg, his wife, Angela, son, Elias, and daughter, Cora, of Littleton, CO. Arthur, like his parents, donated his body to science so there will be no burial. A Zoom celebration of life will be planned for later this year. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to: Angel Flight East, 1501 Narcissa Road, Blue Bell, PA 19422 or online at Angelflighteast.org.

I just want to express my sadness for the death of Arthur. I knew him a number of years ago and thought he was so funny and smart. I regret that we could not continue a friendship but I retain good memories of him.

Dear Steven and Andrew,
We learned recently of your Dad's passing.
Your Dad was a close friend of ours many years ago. Actually, he was an usher in our wedding.
We reunited some years ago and were able to catch up on our lives. He really lived a glorious life and, as they say, "did his own thing".
May his memory be for a blessing to your family and to the Jewish people.
Avi and Alan Katz

Am deeply saddened to learn of Arthur’s passing while knowing he lived every day to the fullest. Yes, Arthur loved his “toys” but his pride and joy were always his sons, Steven and Andrew.

May you rest peacefully knowing you did your very best each day. It was my pleasure knowing you all these years.

Rest In Peace, my friend. See you in Miami!

After many interesting hours of flying with Arthur in his plane during 1995-97, he treated me to flying lessons. After many lessons, he celebrated my solo landing and we planned the trip across the Atlantic. I was his co-pilot. It was an unforgettable trip of a lifetime the summer of 1998. Arthur put in many hours of paperwork and phone calls to make sure we were safe and welcomed in the countries where we landed. We were joined, after crossing the Atlantic by Judy and Bill Schramm. Thanks to Arthur we will always have those memories and many more.

I was Arthur's personal trainer. Yes, he had one! I called him 'the Eveready Bunny', because he always, always, wanted to stay in the best condition he could, so he could keep flying. I wish him clear sky's and a smoothe ride.

I am one of the lucky aircraft mechanics who got to work on Arthur's gorgeous plane. The most striking thing about is that he has placed a small flag sticker for each country he had ever flown it too... there are dozens of stickers!

To say he was larger than life is an understatement. Arthur loved to fly and he loved to share the joy of flight with everyone.

I am so wholeheartedly proud i got to know him over the last eleven years while i cared for his plane, he even let me fly it a few times with him!

Godspeed, Arthur.... may you enjoy that runway to Heaven!

Arthur was my next door neighbor when I was little. He was as charming as his parents. They were lovely people and Arthur a lovely young man. May his memory be a blessing.
