In Memory of Eric Simon, Arkay Packaging

It is with great sadness that Arkay notes the passing of its Director of Manufacturing, Eric Simon, who died on June 16th. Eric was a vibrant and integral part of Arkay, a loyal and gifted leader, and a wonderful example of how a strong work ethic combined with a dedicated team could raise you up to the highest levels. Our hearts go out to the family and loved ones Eric left behind – his passion, talent, creativity, and generosity of spirit will be sorely missed by the many lives he touched. R.I.P. Eric. JANUARY 6, 1975 – JUNE 16, 2021 -- Mitchell Kaneff and the entire Arkay family. Donations can be made in Eric Simon’s name on the Print and Graphics Scholarship Foundation at this link.
