Gary Burgess wrote a sympathy message

“I'm so sorry to hear of the passing of Mr. Thompson. He was a kind soul and well loved at TWC. Despite only having Mr. Thompson for one subject in my four years, his attitude was, "once my student, always my student" and would help you with anything! I enjoyed not only his knowledge, but his friendship. I remember well Mr. Thompson dressing up as Abraham Lincoln on many occasions, much to the delight of the entire campus! GARY BURGESS, TWC Class of 87 (winter)”
