Not sure what to say?

I still miss you, Mr. Thompson. Your and my Daddy's legacies still have a special place in my heart!

To Elaine, Jane, and Sue,

After all the time that's passed since Mr. Thompson left us, I still look toward Heaven and wonder what stories he would share with me when I deal with life's issues. He always shared stories from historical incidents that put things in perspective for me. Long live his legacy!

What a beautiful man. Thank you for sharing him with us! Jane, Nils, Sue, Bill, Elaine, Richard, Paige...I'm thinking of you and praying for you, and sending you love and light. Lots of love!

Jane and family,
I am sad for your loss and hope happy memories will last forever. Hoping for peace in your lives. Until our next high school reunion in 2013.

To Sue and Bill and Mary, what a guy Harry was/is! I felt so fortunate to know and work with him at Sunburst and at HNI meetings. I will always remember his dignity and respectfully call him Senator Thompson. Peace to all the family members.

Our sympathies to all of your family. My parents, deceased Jim and Helen Jones of Evansville were very fond of Harry in both personal and business relationships. I too had occasion to have an aquaintance which was also beneficial and always enjoyable. What a proud heritage he leaves.

I will always remember him driving back and forth to his meetings in Indianapolis and...
