Dear, Santa and sometimes the Count Dracula.
Before a man leaves earth he or she always wonders what legacy they left upon there family and friends well Dad you have nothing to worry about but you already knew that. I guess I was so caught up in being someone I wasn't I never paid attention to your smile. Enough said from now on I'm always going to have a smile. And that was a great BBQ I was glad I didn't have to wear a tie. Well sir until next time I love you so much and I promice to keep your thoughts and smile alive.

This newspaper photo of Mr. Thompson is fitting because he always reminded me of Santa Claus. I still have the Batman figurines and McDonald's Halloween toys he gave to me several years ago. Thanks for the memories. :) May the Lord Jesus bless and comfort you. Matthew

Dad I just wanted to tell you thankyou for being a great father and leader. You will always be my hero and when life gets tough, I will always remember how you taught me strength. Save a seat for me upstairs in the theater. We still have movies to watch. I love you Dad, and go broncos.
