Not sure what to say?

Did not know Hugh had passed. We played tennis often at the Charleston Tennis Club, Charleston, WVa. He was a fine person and gave much of his time to tennis. I'm sure he played much in Florida. May he Rest In Peace.

So sorry to hear the belated news about everyones friend, Hugh Thompson. He did so much for me in tennis, a college scholarship and a letter of recommendation for tennis professional in High Point, NC. God be with you, Hugh

It has been said that our purpose in life is to make the world a better place through the service to others. Hugh did so in many ways, not the least of which was the way in which he shared with other members of the Northwestern Mutual family how to explain the wonderful benefits of permanent life insurance. One of Hughs greatest talents was the ability to take complex concepts and make them understandable. This is the hallmark of great teachers and Hugh was one of the best ever.

Im so sorry for everybody lost. I met Mr Thomson at the restaurant with his beautiful wife. He was unbelievable soul. I will never forget you Mr Thomson :(

To Terry and Kelly & Hello Family, So sorry for your loss. I was one of your dad's caregiver's for a about a year. I had the pleasure to get to know him as a father as well. I always enjoyed his words of wisdom... He offered to counsel my son who had some oppositions in his life. I thought that was very kind of him to open his heart to a strange young man. I really appreciated him. God bless you all....love sent to special love sent to little Hugh and Duke :) Love Demi Jacques

My deepest condolences to the family.I met Hugh as a young agent and he quickly became a role model and inspiration. He helped so many of us to be better at serving our clients and become better people. His warmth and caring will always be remembered.

What I'll remember most were our battles on the tennis court at the (gone now) Riomar Tennis Club. We always gave our best during those matches. The Thompson Family is in my thoughts during this difficult time.

So many years I knew ,respected and loved this man and never did his words or actions disappoint.
I feel honored to have witnessed his life and most importantly had the opportunity to know and cherish those wonderful Thompson kids (now adults)
Wendy Gary and Terry.
Im So very sorry for your loss.
I love you all dearly.
