Not sure what to say?

I was a patient of Doctor Thompson and I need to get ahold of Diane. I am due a refund for 795.00. I apologize for putting that here, but I have no other way of reaching anyone. my number is 253-259-1173, again, my deepest apologies and sympathy. He was a wonderful Doctor.

Our condolences to his family . My mom, who is Russian helped Larissa learn English when she arrived to US . My mom enjoyed those teaching sessions. We enjoyed Bill and the get togethers. Gary we send hugs.

You are one Great Man.

he was my neighbor growing up as a little boy. he was always so nice and I remember when his wife passed. my he have love and peace with her forever

I met Bill through his brother Gary Thompson , whom he was very very close to . They were constantly together . Gary spent many days with his brother when he became ill , taking him lunches and dinners and keeping him company . It was apparent that Bill and Gary had a relationship that only close brothers could have . Bill will truly be missed .

Barbara and I have known Bill for over 50 years and consider him one of our dearest friends. He was always there with laughter, tears, or patience and of course advice. He was a great boss and mentor as well as a friend. We will miss him every day.

A member of that early "special team" acknowledging how fun and effective it was to work for then Sgt. Thompson. I recall Bill and Bob Patterson (Chief Patterson) as burglary detectives when I walked the foot beat on Baker Street. Good memories.

Mike and I knew Bill from the PD and were also personal friends. He and Patti were very dear to us. We took a house-boat vacation with them.

The gratitude I have for Bill is beyond words . Not only was he a wonderful person, but he was a beautiful father figure for my brother Stephen, as well as my dear friend Amy. Being a listening ear for my brother , always genuinely ready to share his advice just like any father would. Truly an amazing friend, that will be dearly missed .
