He loved to work and he loved the people he worked with so much that he never successfully retired. Arthur continued working at the Atlantic City Medical Center on a seasonal basis well into his '80's. Arthur loved the sun and lived between his and Lorraine's shore and Florida homes until they moved to Rydal Park in 2013. Arthur loved to travel and ventured around the world with his wife and friends. Most of all Arthur loved Jewish culture and traditions and regularly read the Torah throughout his life, and even most recently last month at Rydal Park. He had a deep commitment to his Jewish faith and was delighted to be a member of the Miyanaires at Congregation Beth Shalom. He was dearly loved by family and friends and will be deeply missed.
