It is with sadness that I pass along the following message from Eileen
Rivera. I considered Arthur Segal to be a good friend, and I think he
regarded me in the same way.
Those of us who knew him knew of his great love of life. Arthur was truly
a gourmet cook and a dinner invitation from his was a prized thing indeed.
The food, the conversation, the drink, and Arthur's love of living and his
curmudgeonly disposition made each occasion a memorable event.
He will be missed by all of us.
