John W. Thompson

Thanks for everything Boss.You were the ultimate Republican. Regards to your family and friends.

Dear Thompson Family:

There are not enough words to describe what a wonderful man John Thompson,Sr. was. I worked for John for many years, learning so very much about being a republican. I myself will miss him very much, seeing him at lunch at the Yorktowne, or just talking to him on the phone. What a wonderful man he was. He was so much like a father to me, and I will never forget him. My heart goes out to all his family members. But I can tell you he will be there forever...

Chairman John was truly a legend and he left us with a legacy that is virtually impossible to match. I always enjoyed talking with him and came away each time respecting him even more. He kept his wit and sense of humor right to the end and was as quick on his feet with a quip as anyone I've ever seen. Karen and I admired him greatly. Our heartfelt and deepest sympathy goes out to his family. During the course of our many conversations I learned how proud he was of each member of his...

As a local district Republican committeewoman, I met John quite a few years ago. When it came to politics, he was definitely the most knowledgable person I've ever met. He had a way about him that was rare. I will never forget him. My sincere condolences to all of you.

John- When I think of your father, one of my favorite memories from Woodbine, is when he used to 'order' me to go out in the back yard and practice my cheerleading. And when he came to Dad's funeral, that was the first thing he said. I also remember the stories he and Dad used to tell, which I heard from you and Bill at Mother's funeral. My sympathies to you and your family. Susan Ruff
