Don was a treasured colleague, mentor and friend. It was a privilege and a pleasure to grow and develop as a Pediatrician under his leadership and guidance. He was also the Pediatrician for my children who absolutely loved him. His care and gentle touch will always be remembered. My kids reminded me of his role as Santa at "some of the best office Christmas parties" and "he always talked to us Mom". We will also all miss his incredible sense of humor and his ice cream making and cooking...

Dr Thompson was my 3 children's pediatrician as they grew up. He was excellent at his job. We loved him.

Those of us in the medical field were used to seeing doctors in a jacket and tie. Then Dr Thompson came to Vancouver wearing jeans , a denim shirt and ponytail. The new age of pediatrician. He often directed his questions to the kids not just the parent and my son loved that. Years later when I worked at EPC , Dr Thompson was wonderful to his staff. Blessing to Judy and family

He was one of our best Fellows in Pediatric Rheumatology at Children's Hospital Los Angeles. Had a great sense of humor and was a "born leader".

A wonderful friend during our shared fellowship time at CHLA. Someone whose memory will be will the forever. The below is Don, myself, and Ross Petty in Bogota Columbia at a PANLAR meeting in 1978

I will miss watching Don cooking, enjoying meals together and losing to him at cribbage. A good man who will be missed by many.

Don was the best. Many hours and days spent with him over 50 years. Too many to recount. He is missed.
