Serene, 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.

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.

Dear Thornton Family,
Our deepest sympathies for your loss.
Arnold was one of those few people that was respected and also liked by all fortunate enough to work with him.
As a professional leader he was both compelling and reassuring and while these qualities will be missed, they will always be remembered.
