R. Donald Thompson Jr.

To Bob and the Thompson family,
Bob I so sorry to hear about Don passing away.
In our business, when someone who was truly loved and respected as he was, hurts us all.
I was very honered to know such a great man.
We will all miss him.

May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields and,
Until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of his hand.

to Don's family I wish you all the best and will hold you in my prayers. Don was a wonderful person and I was glad to have him as a friend. He visited my home on the beach at the Caberet Beach party the past few years and seemed to have a wonderful time and I was glad to see him I have eaten at both rest and he was always there working hard for his family. Me and my wife Jinnie will truly miss him.

To the Thompson Family:

Please accept my sincere condolences on the loss of Don. We had many fun years together at Cabaret. The world was a better place because of him. He will be missed.

Our lives will never be the same. He was truly "A Class Act" and one that cannot be duplicated. Whatever he did, he did it right! It was his way, "to do it right". As my Dad taught me, and when I told him how many times my Dad would say this to me, he would chuckle as he really did love it: "How come there's not enough time to do the job right, but ALWAYS time to do IT over". And, he lived his life that way too, (he always did things right!).
That was in the late 40's and early...

I'll miss my friend Don, as will my son Matt and his mother Connie. We were so saddened to lose such a good friend.
he showed such kindness when my son was born.
I'll miss his bad jokes, as well! Rest in peace, my friend... we'll all miss you.

Don was always a pleasant gentleman everytime I said hello to him at Poopsie's...where I've going since I was a kid. Over the past nine years, I have been lucky enough to be a "regular" and a friend of many who work for Don, or are patrons of Don's...I can truly say it is a place where evryone knows my name and again...it was always a pleasure to see Don. I will miss his "hello Mike's" and "good to see you's".

It was with a heavy heart that I learned that Don had passed. He was a great guy as many will attest. My mother Gail sends her condolences as well and has many fun memories from the Cabaret years. I wish you strength and peace as the days pass and look forward to the Vaudvillian acts in Heaven that Don will be conducting.
He is a personality that the South Shore and beyond will greatly miss. He was as few are, a fixture in the community.

God Bless,

Ed Dann, Jr.

Carol and family, I am very saddened by the loss of Don, a wonderful man. He was in my family's life since I was born the same week as Heather.

Remember the best moments and god bless.
