Not sure what to say?

Leslie was always mature for his age, diligent in all he attempted to do at church, school, wherever; participated in activities at church! Longtime friend since I moved to Plainview when I was ten. Most trustworthy in all of life: surely someone I looked up to and admired all through our school days, then on to college days. Blessed to have had the joy of knowing him and his family!!!

One of my favorite people in Denton, a friend and fellow collector for decades. Always kind, pleasant, and SO knowledgeable. So many of us will miss you, Les. Deepest condolences to his family.

Dr. Thompson was a kind, compassionate, and devoted English professor at SFA. He was one of the most popular professors on campus and students, including me, flocked to sign up for his classes, especially the Death and Dying course. He was a great asset to the teaching profession. Mark Choate SFA class of May 1978
