I met Art at Rutgers in 1959 when we pledged AEII...............his broad smile, deep voice and laughter, and a scintillating glint thru thick eyeglasses masked his keen intellect and broad interests in many areas of his surroundings and environment.............Art was recognized as a leader and enjoyed support from many.....he enjoyed a "good" debate..........our relationship was sustained by contacting one another when he was on the west coast or entertaining me as a lecturer in Florida.. the latter experience allowed me to be entertained in his beloved world..............the sea, a boat, waves, a caught fish and several bottles of the processed hops.......last contact was in New Brunswick for the 50th (?) re union of AEII..............he contacted me several years ago about an illnesses and I tried to provide him the names in the US at cutting edges of his disease............He was in my  goyem opinion a true "Mench"..............God bless his soul and survivors.............joe silva


I met Art in 1959 and was his Rutgers roommate for three years. We then both went to Medical School and  remained friends ever since. He was a wonderful guy and had a great sense of humor. I will miss him.

I worked on six east at Memorial Hospital where I first met Dr. Feinberg and his surgical group.  He was a wonderful surgeon and treated all nurses and staff with great respect.  I was a unit secretary at the time and it was Dr. Feinberg who encouraged me to go to school to become a nurse.  He was kind, generous and treated everyone as if they were his friend.  I'm sorry to hear of his passing.  

As an operating room nurse I always enjoyed working with Arthur. When he brought David to Memorial it changed my life forever. The year in Philadelphia resulted in Steve and I  having a beautiful second home in Ireland and a wonderful 31 year marriage. Thank you for all the wonderful memories!

Art,
Thank you for welcoming our family into yours. We have so many memories and life experiences because of you. You were Papa Art to my boys.  They got to fish, feed Tarpons, kayak with manatee, swim with dolphins, climb mountains, water slide on rocks, pull crab traps, clean a fish, to name a few! You were always available for medical advice and even political advice (not that I always wanted it 😉)
You made my mom happy and that of course made us happy.
We will miss you. 
Much love to your family. 
Caroline (Cooey), Mark, Dylan and Daltan 

I have known Art since Teaneck High and later Rutgers. Even though he settled in Florida we remained close and were always in touch with one another. 
We went on many
trips together - the Amalfi Coast, Holland, the Bahamas. When you traveled with Art you never had to worry what restaurant to eat in, he always knew the best ones. 
Over the years we had wonderful times in the Keys and on his boats. 
Whenever you were with Art you knew you were going to have a great time. 
I will miss him and never forget my friend.

I've known Art for 65 years!  We knew each other in the Bronx because his parents owned the local candy store/luncheonette, but we became good friends in high school. We both lived in Teaneck, NJ.   There were many years when I didn't see Art but we always kept in touch.  About 15 years ago a group of old friends from high school or college started having a three-day reunion every year or so.  When Art was retired as a surgeon and living in the Florida Keys, he hosted this reunion.  He also hosted one at his house near Ashville, North Carolina.  Art always showed us a good time.  I remember the fun we had going kayaking near his house in the Keys.  I remember going out on speedboat with a buddy of his who was a good guide to the ecology of the area.  We had lots of good meals--lots of laughs.  Art enjoyed life; he was an adventurer--more adventurous than the rest of us.  It was always fun to be with him even though we rejected many of the things he wanted to do!  I will miss him a lot.
