Arnie served in the Army in the Caribbean during World War II. After graduating from Princeton in 1949, he earned a law degree at Columbia Law School, where he was a Stone Scholar.

During his distinguished career, Arnie worked as a U.S. attorney in New York; as a private practitioner with a top New York firm — including a court assignment to defend Col. Rudolph Abel, who was accused of spying for the Soviets; as chief counsel to a special New York commission to investigate corruption in local government; as chair of Mayor Lindsay’s Committee on Taxicabs; and as a justice on New York’s Supreme Court.

Arnie was a great athlete who won the Freshman Cane Spree in ’43, ran in 40 mara- thons, and founded a Florida rowing club.

We especially remember him for his outstanding service to Princeton and ’47 (he was class president from 1992 to 1997). “My best friends were guys I met at Princeton,” he wrote in our 40th yearbook. Indeed, he was a treasured friend of all of us who knew him.

Arnie married Genevieve Lami in 1954. They enjoyed two children and three grandchildren. We tender this heartfelt celebration of a great classmate to Gen and the family.
