THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE, BOARD, ADMINISTRATION, AND STAFF OF

THE JEWISH HOSPICE

6z.

CHAPLAINCY NETWORK

offers its condolences to Julie and Joseph Holly, and to

Arthur's extended family and friends.

Art, through the DeRoy Testamentary Fund, was one of the founders who provided

the initial funding for The Jewish Hospice & Chaplaincy Network. He took an active

interest in guiding the organization and enjoyed personal friendships and served as a

mentor to JHCN's Rabbi E.B. (Bunny)

Freedman and Rabbi David Nelson.

Art was one of the Jewish community's great patrons and a benefactor to many of

southeast Michigan's most important causes and institutions. He was respected and

beloved by his many friends and colleagues. His vision, leadership and generosity will

leave an indelible legacy for generations. His friendship and guidance to JHCN will

be

sorely missed

MAY HIS MEMORY BE FOR A BLESSING.

Arthur Rodecker

One of the Hospice Heroes whose
vision for our community ensures
