I just found out about his passing and I’m  very heartbroken!  I was one of Dr. Oliver Thompson’s students at RCC couple years  back. I had  the privilege of being one of his students, especially as a Middle Eastern woman He influenced my life so much. If it wasn’t for his lectures he’d give me I probably wouldn’t be where I am today. He was such a caring person  There is no one like him.May you rest in peace ! My condolences to his family!

Chief, 
Miss you dearly. Can’t stress enough how much you influenced my life. Continue to Rest  In Peace!

It saddened me to just learn, he was one of my fav professors. He was always taught with such compassion had great stories and was always there for his students.  May he rest in peace and his family find love and comfort.

Hello, my name is Mike Ayala. I had the privilege of being Dr. Thompson student at Riverside city college. He was and is my inspiration to be the best  I can be. He always told me I can be more then what my goals were. I was so surprised since I was close minded and he told me son you have to aim higher. Also, told me I have the potential to do more I have to put in the work to get there. Since that day I took all his advice and will get to meet my goals and more because of his advice. He impacted my life and many more students. My condolences to the Thompson family for your loss it affected myself as well since he is one of the reasons why I am a criminal justice major. 
Sincerely, 
Mike Ayala

To the family!  I am truly sorry to hear about the passing of Oliver.  Without fail he would always ask me about my son and his love for cars as we all know Oliver’s love for cars.  At least I seen he had a love for his corvettes.  Christine I pray that knowing where he is now and knowing all those that he has made an impact on throughout his journey and how much I know he loved and adored you will bring you much comfort during this time
