Dear Betsy, it was with great sadness that I learned of Arnold's passing. He was the only real friend I made at the Brookdale and I looked forward to our monthly dinner outings. He made a special effort to be compassionate toward me -- even planning a night out at the Jacksonville Symphony. I remember Arnold for his wit, his erudition, and his kindness. He is missed by me and many other Brookdale residents.

I was deeply saddened to hear about the loss of my old friend Arnold Federman. I had the privilege of working with Arnold many years ago at his company PPC. I had always held his dedication and expertise in high regard..
Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with the whole family..
With deepest sympathy.

It is with great surprise that I find out that Arnold has passed away, since I spoke with him in the first days of September from Chile.
May God have him by his side as he was a very good person. My deepest condolences to his entire family.

My name is Rodney Constance and I am a  young  Merchant from Trinidad and Tobago in the Caribbean.

I want to send my deepest condolences to the Federman family. I have just received the news on the passing of my dear friend and business associate Mr. Arnold D Federman.  Mr. Federman was very dear to me and we communicated every day working on numerous projects. Our last project was a Fujairah deal which didn't quite go as planned whereby my last direct communication with Mr. Federman was on Wednesday 13th September, 2023 via whatsapp message, just giving basic update. I sent out a final email on Friday 15th September 2023 advising on the delays. At that moment I had not heard from Mr. Federman and thought he was just a bit upset with me for the delays.
So I was just giving him some time and space to overcome the situation. However, I received communication from another mutual associate informing me of his passing. 
This has truly been difficult for me to accept reason being recently loosing my children mom to cancer in November 2021.
So I totally understand the hurt and grief the family are experiencing. I simply just want to reach out to the family and give my condolences, love and support. Mr. Federman was truly a great, loving, honest, intelligent and wise person.  I will forever miss him, and his memory will always live on in my heart.

Thank you for the time and moments shared and knowledge you have imparted upon me.  May you rest in peace and continue on your journey.

Regards
Rodney Constance

About 10 years ago a friend of mine passed away 1 day shy of his 90th birthday. Bill was a few years older than my father,  and unfortunately it took his death for me to realize he was one of my best friends. There was no such lag in my appreciation of my relationship with Arnold. He’s been one of my dearest friends for 20+ years, sharing a love for Lenore and my wife Michele, bridge, food, martinis, politics,  Big Ten football and the Game of Life, generally. I miss him terribly already. Au revoir, mon ami.

Arnold was a dear friend who I met through his cousin Harvey Traison. We attended many wonderful concerts together and he shared lovely tales of his daughters  of whom he was extremely proud. Above all he was my favorite bridge partner- in person when he lived in Florida and then online. He will be sorely missed. 

My profound condolences to his daughters and all the family.

Arnold and Lenore and my husband Norman and I became fast friends after we met Arnold and Lenore at Temple Beth El in Boca one evening when we were playing duplicate bridge.  Lenore and I had worked at the same school.  We enjoyed many wonderful evenings and celebrated the Jewish holidays with them.  After Lenore died Arnold and I remained friends with him often sharing literature for me to read.

Dear Sue, Betsy, and Elissa,

Arnold's death was somewhat shocking as even at his age, he was so intellectually active and socially involved.  I have lost a dear friend.  I fondly recall dinners, films, and lectures with Arnold and Lenore and how I embarrassed myself one day when he asked me to be his bridge partner and I failed him terribly.  He took it with a smile.  Time waits for no one.  Carpe Diem.

We extend our condolences to you,

Harvey and Kin
