Dr. Art was such a kind and caring man. I know this because he took the time to speak with me when I had been diagnosed with CLL. I was pretty scared and depressed at the time of his telephone call with me. He calmed my fears and gave me information which kept me from losing it. Rest in peace , Dr. Art.

My condolences to you, Carol, and family. Even though I have never met you and Art, I feel like I know you as my sister, Anne is so fond of you and family. Anne talks about you, Art and family always I also will never forget how Art's calming voice and demeanor helped our brother, Stephen, when he was first diagnosed with Cancer. Art was a true gentleman and a kind soul to Stephen and his wife. They had many questions about his diagnosis and Art helped us. God bless Art and may he rest in peace. My heart goes out to you and family.

With Advocate in the department of medical records
For 25 years Dr.Hoobernan was always so friendly. We had
Great talks about our families while he came in
Looking for charts or records .
He was my favorite doctor and everyone knew it .
My sincerest and deepest condolences to his family!
I was so sorry to hear this news. My thoughts are with you at this difficult time. Sincerely, Bedonna Fiedler

It has been my good fortune and privilege to know and work with Art over these many years. Our piano lessons were a mutual exploration and sharing of music (and the world at large). Art was curious and insightful and had a wicked sense of humor. And, above all, he had a bottomless well of love and and respect for Carol and Hilary and Nathan. A truly good man.

My sister, Anna Kushner was a good friend of Art’s in high school and after. She speaks highly of him now and was hoping to reconnect with him, having recently exchanged some messages.
It speaks highly of him that Anna still values their relationship so long after their lives diverged.

I’m so sorry for your loss. Dr. Hooberman was my oncologist for many many years.. He was always kind and genuinely cared. He will always remain in my heart, as I was blessed to have him as my doctors for as many years as I did.

I was terribly saddened to hear of Art's passing. Our mothers were best friends for over 80 years, and I grew up hearing about Art - who was younger than his older brothers and me. I was delighted to (re)connect with Art a few years ago when he courageously joined a woman's book club. He was a true renaissance man, with broad interests, a curious mind, and an engaging personality. Please tell his brothers - and the entire family - that Lil Moscow's daughter sends her condolences and fond regards.

My sincere condolences to Carol and family. May happy memories bring peace and comfort and may the love of family and friends bring strength and support.
I knew Art well in the 12 years that I worked with him at Lutheran General and know that he had a great positive impact on many patients and many trainees and colleagues alike. His calm demeanor, thoughtful care, and compassion served as a role model.

Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

With heartfelt sympathy,

My sincere condolences to Carol and her family. Such a great loss. I remember Arthur from our high school years (and as my brother-in-law's brother). He was and always will be one of the nicest people you could ever know. I'm sure he will be greatly missed.

All the best,

My sincere sympathies to the Family of Arthur Hooberman. I went to high school with Arthur and later discovered he was living and practicing in Illinois during the same time I was living in Chicago. We spoke briefly and he was so kind. I’m sorry I missed his Funeral. May God bless him and may he be at peace now.

My brother forwarded Art's obituary to me. Art and I attended Harrison High School together in the mid-1970s and he was in my twin brothers' class (of 1975, classmate of Bob and Brian Miller). But despite being a class apart, we became friends because we shared interests in science and in social improvement. We were at the University of Michigan concurrently, I was a chemistry major and I don't recall what Art majored in but I do remember when we would get together on the diag to talk about all the different things we were doing - he was volunteering at a health clinic and would share stories with me about his patients. I was deep in studying chemistry and math. It was natural that he would go to medical school and I was delighted to hear of his plans to marry Carol. I thought of Art as deeply wise and deeply compassionate and knew how well oncology would suit his love of science and his drive to make people's lives better. I ultimately went to medical school myself at age 38 following a first career in pharmaceutical research, and thought of Art during my own oncology rotations. He was unusually insightful and even after 40+ years of not being in touch with him, he remains admired and has been a guidepost. Deepest condolences to his family and to his community.

Art was an exceptional student, a joy to have in my classroom.
Smart? Yes.
Brilliant? That too.
But also compassionate.
Insightful.
Curious.
Blessings on his life, work, and legacy…
