JR, my closest friend for over 20 years. we have had so many great times together. There has never been a gloomy day with you. I enjoyed the wonderful times when your family and my family decided to move to South Carolina and the many cookouts we shared as a family. I have never laughed so hard and so much when your brothers came around and the many jokes and laughs we had. You will be missed but my love for you and your family lives on forever. To joyce my sister, stay strong in GOD and Prayer. My heart goes out to you and you loving family.

To the Thompson Family,
I just moved back to the area and heard about the passing of one of my favorite people JR. JR was like an older brother to me as I was growing up in Carybrook. I will always remember JR as one of the nicest guys I've ever known. My thoughts and prayers are with the Thompson family. May God bless you. And to Chris, we've been friends since were young kids in Carybrook, so know I'm here if you or your family needs me. Call me 704-707-5262

To the Thompson Family,
We are saddened by this tremendous loss. J.R. was a customer of ours at Aqua Pura. My heart goes out to the whole family whom he loved very much.
He always told me how good our water was and maybe one day he would open a water store in Suffolk. His friendly smile surely will be missed here.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.
