Leonard Arnold Obituary

My Mom called me and told me that cousin Lenny had passed on. I understand he was in the same room at hospice that my Dad Victor was in almost 2 years ago. They were the last 2 men of their generation of Arnold/Arnopolin. I remember, with incredible fondness, Uncle Charlie and Aunt Bessie, and what a big deal it was when Charlie brought his last brother, Reuven, and his wife, Galya, over from the Ukraine for a 3 month visit to Chicago. And how much Reuven looked like my grandfather Solomon. The last time I saw cousin Lenny was when my Dad died. You know, they don't make men like that generation anymore. Tom Brokaw was correct. Lenny and my Dad, they were the greatest generation. And even though they are no longer with us, they'll always be the greatest.

I was saddened to hear of the passing of Dr. Arnold. He delivered me 49 years ago and was my family doctor until I was in my 20's. I will always remember his kindness. I had an opportunity to speak to Dr. Arnold on the radio a few years ago. I am so pleased that I heard him on a radio show, called in, and spoke to him. He was a special man.

Our family was saddened to hear about Dr. Arnold. He was my doctor since the age of l6 and our family doctor..our four children (now adults) were very fond of him.When I had a girl after three boys, he and Dr. Peckler sent flowers to me at the hospital with a note saying that if it had been another boy, no flowers! My condolence to the family of Leonard Arnold

In the absence of my own Father, Dr. Arnold was like a second Father figure to me in my younger days. I have many wonderful memories of this man who nurtured me along in spirit, as I observed him lovingly raise his own family. God Bless you, Dr. Arnold!

Dear Arnold Family;



I would like to express my condolences at the loss of a truly great man. I have known "Doc" for many years and have known him both professionally and personally. As a professional he was beyond reproach, but on a personal note we shared a love of the Cubs, and Bears. He marvelled and "kvelled" at his participation at Fantasy Camp, and his "enshrinement" at Don & Charlies Restaurant in AZ, and lamented at the Cubs failures. We shared a great time with Doc and Chad at the 86 Super Bowl. Maybe Doc can reverse the fortunes of the Cubs from the heavens above. I will miss "Doc", but I have been blessed by his acquaintence this past 30+ years.



Sincerely,



Jay A. Heller
