Not sure what to say?

So sorry to hear of his passing. I was in his art class in Concordia. He was very nice. He let us bring record albums to play during class. I believe that's when I became a lifelong Led Zeppelin fan! Rest in peace, Mr. Thompson. The world is enjoying your art!

I also knew Dennis back in the day when he and Peggy were in Kansas and am fortunate to own a very nice painting he made circa 1968. His obit shows that Dennis was a caring teacher, artists, volunteer in the community and not least a good husband and father. I would like to be able to see more of his art but do not know how to access it? My career was in art museums and as an artist. Michael Sanden, Daytona Beach, Florida.

One of the great artists of our time! I remember Dennis from our days in Kearney, Nebraska. Diana Rasmussen and I live in southern Oregon and often recall those student days and wonder about our friends from those years. Maybe we can get a piece of Dennis Thompson art work into the Museum of Nebraska Art at Kearney if we try?
