On behalf of the Farr Family, we offer our condolences with love & prayers to the Thompson Family.
It is with deep sadness that I extend my deepest condolences to the family of William(affectionately known to me as T) Thompson. We worked together at what is now known as Honeywell. We shared so many memories together for so many years. He was such an incredible person. May his memories live on forever. Blessings to all of his loved ones.
My Sincere Condolences and Prayers to the Thompson Family. Much Love Marie and Latisha Paige/Family
My heart hurts for the Thompson family, especially for Aunt Lil. When Ricky and I were teenagers Tank would come by and check on his mother and he always had an encouraging word. Even when he knew we were about to get into something we had no business doing he would encourage us to do what's right in only the way he could without making you feel like he was judging you. He was definitely a good guy. We have lost a true gentleman. Prayers for the family.
Sincerely, The Mercer Family

I am heartbroken over the loss of my favorite cousin, whose love and spirit meant more to me than words can say. I will always remember his birthday and my anniversary day October 21. He would often tell me that my wife made the best banana pudding that he had ever eaten I take comfort in knowing that he is now at peace in God's care, and his memory will live on in my heart forever.
My deepest sympathies to you and your family at this difficult time.
