Rock ‘N’ Roll was one of his passions and he loved attending concerts with his girls. Working side by side with his wife in their vegetable garden was one of his greatest joys.

Novakovic and husband, Bill of Lynchburg, and Jesse Leigh-Anne Thompson of Concord; four grandchildren, Kayden (14), Easton (6), Mason (3), and Will (six months); and three siblings, Gary Thompson and wife, Sandy of Rustburg, Mike Thompson, and Kim T.
