Bill Thompson will truly be missed by all that knew him! To know him was to love him. An awesome grandfather to my children and father in love to me. He ALWAYS showed up to support, as shown in these photos. 3 separate graduations for the same grandchild, not to mention a host of additional activities for the others. We will miss you! Rest Easy! Ride that iron horse in the sky! 1 down, 5 up! RIH
