Dear Leslie, Randi and Jody,
I was shocked and so sad to hear about Arthur's passing. A flood of memories are swirling around me tonight, we had so many together, from Weinstein's Deli to Miami Beach, to Shamokin and later, Ann Arbor.
My thoughts are with you during these sad times. I'll call in a few days.

Dear Leslie & Spiegel Family,
Arthur was a true Family human being, loved and adored by all.
We are all lucky for the many fond memories he gave us, funny, honest, caring, and above all a true Friend. With a magical smile.
The world is a better place having Arthur here for all of us to smile when we pray for him to rest in peace.

Leslie so sorry to hear!! A great and kind man and, with you, a great friend to my parents. My most vivid memory is of his always being quick with a joke, enjoying a good laugh, and often telling me at a young age that he was indeed my dad. He will be missed by many! Love and condolences to the Spiegel family and the entire Pittsburgh community who knew and loved him!

Arthur leave great memories, including his friendliness and great smile. We shared teen-age daughters growing up as friends, swim club, dancing lessons and board meetings where Arthur always tried to be a peacemaker! I wish Leslie, Randi and Jodi comfort in their good memories.
