If you knew him, you were his friend. He was an amazing husband, Daddy, and Bear-Bear to his family. He touched the lives of everyone he met, always going out of his way to help someone or make them feel welcome.

  After months of being in and out of the hospital due to complications from diabetes, he contracted the Covid 19 virus. He was in critical condition on a BiPAP machine for about 2 weeks, unable to breathe without assistance. His body was tired and he just wanted to come home and be with his family. He was discharged under hospice care on November 21, 2020,  and he died the very next day surrounded by his wife of 52 years, his 2 daughters , and 2 grandsons.

His family never left his side, but now face the burden of high medical bills and end of life costs as he had no life insurance or burial policy. Please consider helping them through this difficult time as they navigate this tragedy. Donations will go directly to his wife, Susan Thompson, to help with medical bills, end of life costs, and future expenses. Any amount that you may be able to contribute will be greatly appreciated.

A memorial celebration is being planned at a later (safer) date.
