     Sincerely, Elinor Taylor

My name is Prof. Gerardo Byk from Bar Ilan University Israel. Arthur Felix strongly inspired the concept I have developed with my mentor Chaim Gilon in the 80's called backbone cyclization to infer  global conformational constrain in peptide and improving activity and stability. Arthur Felix made seminal research on side chain cyclizations that where the basis of our approach. The scientific memory of Arthur Felix  is strongly rooted in peptidomimetics and will remain on the pages of many books. My sincere condolences to his family and friends.

Dear Micky and family, it was such a shock and with deep sadness that we heard of Art's passing. We just want you to know how much we respected him, and what a wonderful  person we knew him to be. We will remember what a great storyteller he was- how he loved his baseball team, even how to sell a car "local" style. He gave of himself in volunteer work and in various organizations but was always humble and genuine.  We will miss him, and are so thankful we have crossed paths in this life with the two of you. You are always welcome if you are able to come this way.

Art and Micky were superb tour guides when we visited them on the Big Island in 2016. We will never forget what we saw and learned as Art drove us around the island for two days.

Alison, Ron and Mickey and family, 

I am very sorry for your loss.  He was a great man and dad!

I am happy to remember our guy Art, but alas for his death. We were colleagues for decades in the School of Science at Ramapo College of New Jersey. Art was awesomely competent but always congenial. He taught his courses diligently, maintaining high standards and resisting grade inflation; he conducted publishable research and published it; he did a fair share of the committee work; he mentored many a student;  and he helped the college finds its legs and grow in the early days when it was somewhat shaky. Rest in peace, Art.

Micky, Alison and Ron, Stephan and Miwako, Noa and Ken,

We are so sorry for your loss. Thinking of you all during this very difficult time. 

Love,

Dear Micky and family ,

     We were devastated to learn of Art’s passing.    It is said that no one truly dies if they are remembered with love and admiration.  We count ourselves among those that will always keep Art in our fondest memories.

     We will miss our occasional forays to Eppes Essen in Livingston for a traditional delicatessen treat.  Our visit with Micky and Art on the Big Island was something we’ll never forget.  

         Sincere condolences and love,     Martha and Richie

I’m having difficulty getting my  thoughts together for the greatest person I have ever known.  He was a chemist, educator, and author.  I always expected him to win a Nobel Prize.

We went thru NYU together from orientation to graduation.  He was always there for me and very helpful with my difficult pre-med chemistry courses. He saw me off at the pier on my first journey to Italy for medical school.

He was more like a brother than a friend.  I tried to fix him up with girls not realizing he had met his Bashert in Mickey.

We were friends for 70 years and I will miss him immensely..

Micky, Alison and Ron, Stephan and Miwako, Ken and Noa, 
I am deeply saddened by the passing of Art. What an extraordinary man. What an extraordinary couple.  When we met up on Oahu or Hawaii Island, I was struck by how devoted Micky and Art were to each other and their family. 

That smile, it was infectious.  His stories—to which Micky added her own details—were hilarious. They were always generous with their hospitality and eager to show their guests the treasures of their Big Island from a coffee farm to the southernmost point of the island to the black sand beaches where Micky’s beloved turtles basked in the sun.  And I will never forget picnicking with them at a place overlooking the magnificent Waipio Valley.

As an accomplished scientist, Art shared his wealth of knowledge with students and not just through his teaching. Years ago, they flew to Oahu from Hawaii Island because Art had volunteered to assist a University of Hawaii doctoral student with his thesis. I do not think they had met before. 

We should all be so lucky to leave such a legacy of love, generosity and accomplishments. May the words of Helen Keller bring you comfort at this time. 
“What we have once enjoyed, we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes a part of us.”

I met Art the first day in my new house right next door in 2005.  It had snowed and I couldn't get my car out of the driveway.  He came right over and helped me dig it out.  Welcome to the neighborhood!  And it was like that ever since.  We will miss him.  The world is a little dimmer with him gone.

Dear Micky,

As you know, Art was one of the kindest people I have ever known and always had a funny story to share. I will miss him

Mickey,
I just  heard about  Art,  from Bob and Martha,   please accept my condolences,  remembering  you two at Kahaluu beach

Micky, I don’t know if you were aware of this but during one of my visits to Hawaii, while you were making dinner, Art and I were in his office singing his rendition of a Hawaiian classic. He encouraged me to “belt out “ out the music despite my terrible voice. He was so kind, empathetic, fun, and appreciative. I will always remember that short episode. I see it in my mind’s eye and I will forever see Art in my heart. I love you all. 
Ruth (Fisher)

To Micky and family, My sincerest sympathy to you and the family. My cousin was always the calm one in the family , never raising his voice always speaking in a calm way no matter what the. situation was. That was because he had all the brains in our family tree. I will always remember my teenage years and spending time with Harvey and Arthur , they always made for a good time and lots of action.He will be missed.  Howard
