“I will never forget Mr. T. He was an awesome teacher and band director, and he cared so much about us. He inspired us to give 101% of ourselves. Some of my fondest memories are of my time in his band room everyday. He will be missed.”

“Dr. T was one of my favorite teachers!! I absolutely LOVED band because that meant I got to see Dr. T! He had such a great passion for music, and he inspired us all! This picture is from one of the fun band trips he took us on. I don't know how he managed such a large group of high schoolers--but he did and we loved every minute of it! Please accept my deepest sympathies. I will never forget Dr. T. He was an amazing teacher and such an awesome role model.”

“Roger was my amazing band director, inspiring me to follow a musical career path. He taught me that band directors taught more than music, they taught life lessons. He taught me that teaching band extended beyond the rehearsal hall and into the community. And he taught me to have fun and enjoy my job, cherish my family and believe that kids, including your own, can accomplish anything. Thanks, Mr. T. Your voice is forever in my head.”

“In loving memory of Roger Thompson, Mr T was my first band director in 5th grade. He was my mentor and director in high school and for 20 more years in the Robbinsdale City Band. He was that one special teacher in my life that made the biggest difference. A great man and friend. Sharing in your sorrow. With love and friendship.”
