Gary Clarence Thompson

I grew up with GARY, Dennis and Carol THOMPSON at Rosholt South Dakota. We had an airstrip on the farm and a Unicom radio. GARY would always call us when flying over South Dakota. He would usually talk with my mother Hazel since she was in the house most of the time.

Not only the Best man at our wedding but one of the best and most gentle souls we ever knew.

One of the dearest men and genuine friend that we have known. Our prayers are now with Joan....a sweetie for sure. Sending hugs, George and Joanie

Living next door to his daughter Kris we come to know Gary and his bride Joan. I had the pleasure in helping them with computer issues the past 10 years or so and Gary would always tell me how amazed he was with my computer knowledge, I always had to laugh, here I stood next to a man who flew 747's and he was impressed with my computer skills? Gary knew how to praise and appreciate other peoples skills. I will always remember his Godly demeanor, his wisdom, insight and friendship. We will meet again my friend in our Lord's Heavenly Kingdom.

So sorry for your loss Thompson family! Our thoughts are with you during this diffuse time

We have so many great memories of Gary. Our sympathies to Joan and family. We will miss our friend.

Losing a "buddy" is so sad. Our condolences to Joan and to Gary's family.

Gary was a great man and a great friend. All treasured his sense of humor -- and his ability to sleep in any circumstance --- in particular when we traveled to Israel.
