Thank you all for your posts! As a family, we were very lucky to have Richard/Mr. Thompson/Dad in our lives for so many years! He had obvious talents in music and tennis but an even greater love was for him to teach/to give to others. As Christians, we believe he is in a better place now and might even be playing a set of tennis with Arthur Ashe or even playing some music with Glenn Miller. Our best, The Thompson Family!

Dear Joan, My deepest sympathy to you and your family. We lost a great guy in losing Richard. I've been trying to play one of the pieces he wrote for Donny a few years ago. He had lots of talent besides being very, very nice. Donny told me he was sick but I didn't expect this. Best wishes to all in a most diffult time. Al Kuhn

I had Mr Thompson as my music teacher at Cliffside Park. I saw him years later handing out political flyers at the old FL shop-rite. It was a pleasure to see him and talk with him. He was a true gentleman...RIP
