General Thompson was such wonderful, regular customer of Centreville Regional Library. I remember very fondly about 2 years ago that he kept talking about his upcoming birthday. When his birthday arrived, he brought a birthday cake in to give to the library staff! We were all so happy to help him celebrate in this way. I am sorry for your loss.
