Tributes
"I moved to Maple Glen when I was 13 and became best friends with Mr. Thompson's daughter, Karen. He was always such a wonderful man and loved to joke with everyone. I always remember him full of life, sharing wonderful trips to LBI, and he just loved being with his family - an amazing father figure! He will be missed by all and leaves a beautiful family that both he and his wife were such an important part of their lives. I'm glad I knew him."
