John was a great man. My parents truly enjoyed having John and Alfareta as friends. John had a great disposition and a big smile as the picture shows. He and Alfareta made a great couple. John put a little bit of sunshine in everyone’s life. His attitude in life was contagious. He was always positive.
The world could have a few more John Ross Thompsons and be better off for it.
Sorry for your loss. Glad to have known Mr. Thompson.
