John (Tommy) was an example of Supreme Manhood. He had a sweeping, powerful productive intellect and the mellow glow of a never failing enthusiasm.Tommy was rugged in a towering wealth of Moral Splendor. He was gentle, tender, considerate and affectionate. He was a sympathetic friend; a castle where strugglers could find shelter, counsel and comfort. He was a man with tremendous life program. He was no trifler. He was utterly devoted to the interests of God's Kingdom and he was the statesman of triumphant citizenship. Tommy was everything a husband should be. I never once heard him complain. He was always pleasant and kind. I can fly higher than an eagle, because you are the Wind Beneath My Wings. You are my hero. With love, Wife, Doris A. Thompson

When John and Doris got married, I did not lose a daughter, I gained a son.
Mother-in-law, Alberta Mackifield

My father was my #1 hero, my friend and comic. He was my financial advisor, counselor, and fashion coordinator. He taught me a lot about life. He also taught me to bowl. He was the organizer of all our family functions as well as other social functions. He was the family photographer. My son called him G-Daddy.I remember him too, as a philosopher. I will always remember him saying, in his comical way, "I might not always be right, but I am never wrong".
