Read MoreSerene, we send our condolences on losing Arnold. He was a nice man and had a dry wit. Mark had a running conversation with Arnold that he got a kick out of. Mark would be working in the front yard and Arnold would walk by. One of them would make a comment. The next encounter in a day or several days, a responding comment would be made as though no time had passed. Great fun for both.
Sending warm thoughts...Pat and Mark Larson

Very sad to hear of Arnold's death. I believe he was the first person I met when I joined CPI, and through the years working with him I came to admire his thoughtful and considerate collegiality, and his wonderful sense of humor. He will be greatly missed.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Serene: I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I know the two of you had such great trips and plans for more visits to Hawaii. I will truly miss our discussions on so many topics during our meetings in my office. We had several decades of developing a relationship that I valued tremendously. Please accept my condolences.

Dear Thornton Family,
It was my great pleasure to work with Arnold on intellectual property matters for Enteromedics for several years. I will miss him dearly.
He was a very intelligent and insightful man. I appreciated his point of view always. But beyond that, he was one of the kindest and most positive people I have ever known.
I am thankful that I got to know him and work with him over the years.
Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you.
Kathy...
