I am sorry to hear of the loss of Mr. Kideckel. While it is never easy to lose a dear friend and loved one in death, may you find comfort and hope in our compassionate God and creator who promises that soon he will undue the sufferings we face today, and "No resident will say, "I am sick."" - Isa. 33:24

To my New York Kideckel family. It has been an honour to say Arnold was my cousin and I will miss him even though we live in different countries. It was bittersweet to see him a few weeks ago I love you all. Sandi (Aunty Becky's daughter)

Susan,
My heart, and Janet's heart, go out to you and your family. Arnie was a mentor to me and a friend. From the first time I met him in London when we were on a panel together to the day I left WEMED, I respected and liked him. This was inevitable as it is for all of us. From Janet and me, may you be comforted among the mourners of Yerushalayim and Zion. Fred and Janet Pomerantz
