I will always remember Mr. Thompson (MSgt) USAF retired. Was such a loving husband and father to his two daughters and family pet. He was a family man and loved his wife Carol Thompson. His favorite sport and the NFL Pittsburgh Steelers.  Thank you and your enternal wife for raising two amazing young women. RIH MSgt Thompson.

I recently thought of your dad during Black History Month, when I saw photos of older service men and women during my daily evening news. A few days later my mom in New York shared the sad news of his passing. I remember the last time I visited his home in Highland, CA. and i took a selfie with him. I also will never forget his presence in 2008 while attending my military retirement ceremony with his daughter Marcey. He was such a proud husband and wonderful father to both his princesses (daughters) Marcey & Lauri. A quiet man that love his family, dog Nyla and football team "The Pittsburg Steelers" his home team. Rest in heaven and now back with your wife Carroll. Thank you sir, you brought so much joy and thank you for serving your country. The Atwood family

Lauri and Marcey (Robert),

So sorry to hear that your Dad passed.  Will always remember Mr. Thompson's spirit for being the kindest, concerned father with a great sense of humor and great mechanic, always inspecting cars before our road trips.  My deepest sympathy and prayers during this time of transition.  May he rest in eternal heavenly peace.

I remember playing Monopoly into the wee hours. During the holidays he would set up games like checkers etc.  he had a big stash of comic books and dol them out but kept them under lock and key.  When a new record was released he would buy it and dance.  He and his boyfriends listen first then when they finished we were  allowed to listen. We were never allowed to mingle with his friends. 
He loved Carol so much and even told us what she wore to school that day.  He over her camel hair coat and her preppy clothes. 
We had so
Much fun with him and we called his two tone 1950 Hudson “the green hornet “ l love  and miss him. Jackie I 

My memory of uncle Richard was sitting and chatting with him at the family reunion. He liked to ruff me up when I was a little fella when he see me. He will be missed.
