John Sterling Thompson Jr.

Oh, Suzanne, pretty lady, I'm soooo sorry to read this. But also so thankful to have known John and you both. He was so kind and always had a smile. Please know how much he was respected and loved by all who worked with him. Hugs, Ruthie Dumas

We are deeply saddened by the passing of John. We will remember him for his zest for life and our hearts are with you, Suzanne. - Stan & Karina

The world has lost a true angel, and heaven gained the best. John was the sweetest, kindest, classiest, and most selfless man I think I´ve ever known. His genuine love toward our family has been an indescribable gift. Much love and many prayers for the family as they navigate this huge loss.

John became my other Brother for life, since the day we sat together in pilot class at Northwest Airlines in 1966. John was always there no matter the time or place. We both leaned on each other for support during our lifetime issues. My Dog Ace minded him, my wife Nancy loved him and he was really a large part of our lives. Truly we will forever miss him and his love and companionship will be with us forever. NOW he has GONE HUNTING just like his license plate reads.

It was always a pleasure to have John as the Captain on the 747 and 744 at NWA .Very professional,nice and Kind man . He will be missed as we have missed him at NWA after he retired .R.I.P John ..
