To Bruce's family: O.F. I have often wondered where Bruce was. I moved to Raleigh & now to Newport News,Va. Betsy Lou James my cousin told me about this.Our families have known each other for many,many years.I have missed the
chance to see Bruce's smiling face & hear his laughter forever. He always made me smile. I cannot say enough about how much Bruce meant to me as a friend..
My heart is heavy and my prayers are with the family.

I was saddened to hear of the death of Bruce Thompson. He was a THS classmate of my brother, Mike. I knew him as a member of THS Tiger football as a freshman ( or 8th grade, I forget which!!) tackling dummy. I was the dummy......
