He is survived by his wife, Elaine; brother, Harvey; sisters, Edythe Kames and Davida Fox-Melanson; children, Steven, Dana, Arthur Eisenberg and Amy Mayer; six grandchildren, five great-grandchildren, one honorary grandchild and one newborn great-great-grandchild. He was preceded in death by his parents, Morris and Lillian. As a young man, Archie delivered goods for his father's pickle business. While in graduate school, he drove an ice cream truck. He began his Social Work career with the JCC in Brighton. Then, he directed and shared ownership of a Boston retirement home. In 1978, he transitioned to academia, retiring after ten years from his faculty position in the BU School of Social Work at 55, expecting his life would much shorter. For fun, Arthur enjoyed the Celtics, travel and documenting family history. He loved dry humor, taking walks, sunshine, ice cream, discussing life with his brother, Celtics with his grandson and reading obituaries. A Celebration of Life will be held in May 5, at a location TBD. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the ACLU.

Elaine, sorry to hear of Arthur's passing. I always enjoyed talking with him (and the extended family) on those occasions when we were all together. Lorna Gershenowitz

Dear Elaine, I was so sad to hear of Archie's death. He was a wonderful mentor, colleague and friend for the years we worked together in Field Education at BUSSW. Given the challenges, highs and lows of field ed, Archie was always grounded, thoughtful, funny and present. Over the years I tried to incorporate those traits in my work and I owe him for that. Thinking of you and your family. Trudy

Dear Elaine,
I am so sorry I didn't get much time to visit with Arthur. He was the rock of the family as far as I was concerned. He will be remembered for a very long time.
