I am deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Arnie Gelfman. I remember him fondly as a colleague and friend of many years. Since I had been away this week, I only now learned of the sad news, and I regret that for that reason I have missed his services. I would like to extend to this family and all who knew him my most sincere condolences.

Arnie was a great colleague and friend, always willing to talk over innovative ideas about higher education and helpful to faculty with the extensive data he collected on the activities and performances at Brookdale. When my wife was a reporter with the Asbury Park Press, she did an article on Arnie. It was a slow news day and Arnie made front page. He was thrilled and he and Jody became life long friends. I was on many committees with Arnie including the Steering Committee of Governance and the committee that oversees grant proposals. He was always insightful, helpful and fair as a committee member. He is a loss to all of us.

Condolences to the family during this time. Arnie was always a kind, generous man who always had time for others. People may throw around the word mensch too much, but in Arnie's case it is absolutely appropriate. He will be missed.

I traveled a lot of roads with Arnie at Brookdale and I'm proud to say he was one the most genuine and sincere person I have ever met. He worked hard, always fair - looking for that middle ground that benefitted everyone. With a huge pile of his own tribulations, he was always an ear for my own. Whether working side by side with him or enjoying his wonderful sense of humor, I was always so proud to have him for a friend.

Arnie was such a kind-hearted fellow. I'll always appreciate his willingness to listen, acknowledge your point of view, and build whatever consensus he could from even disparate observations. That is a talent of both mind and heart which is sorely needed today. He will be missed.

I came to Brookdale in 2006 and immediately found someone I could send email with links and articles and all sorts of material on assessment- just to create conversations and Arnie was always able and willing to reach out. I found Arnie to be a very special person- someone who was wise, kind, smart, humble, and genuine!! Arnie was easy to talk to- and I liked being around him. When Arnie left Brookdale I would always ask Laura about him- I would want to know how he was doing and was he alright. When I look back at my Brookdale days Arnie will always come to mind . He left an impression!
My sympathies to the family. We were all blessed to have been in his life .
