He enjoyed organizing his tools, driving his Mustang, watching movies, telling jokes, solving combination puzzles (like Rubik’s Cube), collecting ducks (because he could talk and sneeze like Donald Duck), and most of all talking with friends and strangers.

Everett, also preceded him in death. He is survived by his wife, Lolana, his son, Jay A. Thompson and wife Larissa and daughter, Amy K. Thompson Pierce and husband Bradley D.
