I was at a dinner last night with the remaining Arrison siblings. We raised a glass in remembrance of Jim, but no one could speak. He is missed beyond words. We love and miss you, Jim. Nothing will change that. Linda

Jim and I were in the same group at U Penn for over a year. He was always cheerful and so full of life. I was deeply saddened by the news of his death. I'll remember him fondly. RIP Jim.

So very sorry to hear of Jim's passing. He was a great guy and friend! My condolences to all his family members.

Jim was a good friend from Villanova when we were both undergrads. We shared so many fun times...especially running around in the old yellow VW bug. I last saw him a little over a year ago when I took my son to visit Villanova where he was applying to the physics program. We visited Jim in his office and it was just like old times! He gave my son a lot a good advice about studying physics. I am heartbroken to hear the news of his passing. My thoughts and prayers are with your family during this difficult time.
