Harry Thompson

Harry Pasquale Thompson Dec. 13, 1931 - Sept. 19, 2010 Harry, a loving and devoted husband, father, grandfather and friend, died peacefully Sunday at his home in Livermore, surrounded by his loving family, after a courageous battle with cancer. He found the love of his life, Terri, by chance when a Navy pal arranged for Terri to correspond with Harry while serving in the Korean War. After countless letters they met six months later for the first time and their story began. They married three years later and raised four wonderful children. Harry cherished his family and created a close, loving bond, which his family will be forever grateful. He enjoyed golf and bowling and made many wonderful friends. He spread happiness to everyone he met, and was deeply loved and respected. He loved children and was "Mr. T" and "Grandpa" to many, who will miss him deeply. His wit and humor will always be remembered. Harry is survived by his wife, Terri, of 57 years, his three children, Robert and his wife Donna, Greg and his wife Donna, Kathy and her husband Gerry, and his daughter-in-law, Dawn, as well as 12 loving grandchildren and 4 beautiful great-granddaughters.
