THOMPSON, John Alfred Dunston
(Thompson with a "P")
Died surrounded by his loved ones. Although "Big John’s" life ended before we were ready, the time he spent with us was memorable and full of laughter. 70 years is a long time to have had a loyal and trusted mate like him. It was an honor and a privilege to have helped John on his next journey.
Rest in peace my friend.
