Arno F. Spatola's untimely passing on July 5, 2003, at the age of 59 shocked and saddened his many friends and colleagues in the peptide field. We will not soon forget Arno's super-human energy, passion for science, and love of life. His precipitous departure from our ranks left a huge void, and peptide science lost a major contributor.

Two issues of Journal of Peptide Research (63, 49 - 194 (2004)) and (63, 195 - 331 (2004)) were dedicated to Arno's memory.
