Dr. Errol L. Thompson
December 28, 1950 -

"I have memories by the score of the life and times of my brethren, Errol (Los T) Thompson. The most dramatic involved an ancient black Mercury, Los T as the driver, Joan Hogarth as the front seat passenger and myself in the rear, with no seat belts in sight. Los T was proceeding towards Fort Green, under the elevated train line, at a normal speed when out of the blue we were violently rammed in the dead center of the vehicle which then spun out of control around five or six times. Los T, cool under fire remarked, "Don't worry, I have it under control. I remember Joan screaming and Los T assuring her. As for myself, I conveniently found religion and as a good fallen Catholic began praying the Act of Contrition with fervor. All the while the Mercury is bouncing off of the columns holding up the train tracks. Finally, after what seemed like an eternity the car came to a standstill and we all exited that glorious Mercury without a scratch. Los T had a big grin on his face and the first words he uttered were, "I told you I had it under control." As an act of charity our partners, including Phyllis Thompson, are building a home in Lititz, St. Elizabeth, Jamaica for a paralyzed sister and that home will be known as the Dr. Errol Thompson House, in memory of my dear departed brethren Los T because that was the type of friend that he was, loyal, loving, caring and sharing. See you in the happy hunting ground of the ancestors my dear friend."

"It took me sometime to get the courage and actually write something, Dr.Thompson was a good person. He took the time out to give me a Job at his first office in Red Hook. I just fresh from out of school with little to none experience. He took the time out everyday to help me learn the ropes of being in the medical field..I remember when he first started and it was just me and him in the office and we talked so much and laughed..Before I left his office I would always ask him "Dr.Thompson did you take your Pressure today because if not the blet is coming off"..and he would laugh and say "No but you can take it"..at times I blame myself..What if I just stayed and worked with him would ive been able to stop this death and gotten help..I keep calling his phone number hoping this was a dream..but today I faced the fact that he is no longer suffering and I hate to say that he is in a better place but I would be lying...The only place he belongs is right here on earth...I will forever be grateful for all the knowledge and experience you give me and I will never forget you -Chanel .M P.S If anyone Knows his sister Sandra(Hopie) please tell her to give me a call. 917 690 1501"

"I attended Glenmuir High School with Errol. He was extremely bright and especially good at Spanish. That is how he came to have the nickname "Los". My memory fails but he must have made some statement in Mrs. D. V. Brown's class which was she either thrashed or elevated in someway, and somehow the name "Los" stuck. Many of us who were in Mrs. Brown's Spanish class knew how terrified we were of her. Errol managed to overcome Mrs. Brown's methods of motivation and used this as his opportunity to master the language to the point that I believed he even completed some of his medical studies in Mexico. This just shows how determined Errol was. For one to study in a language other than your native tongue, they must have extremely strong motivations. Errol was part of the group of individuals from my class who excelled academically and in business and had strong determination to make an impact on society. Evidently Errol had immersed himself in his job, and I understand that he was working over 60 or more hours a week, as he was passionate about what he does, but did so much to the detriment of his life. I know Errol will be missed by his friends and family and especially by the persons he administered to in his medical practice. It must be a heartbreaking reality for his Mom, Mrs. T as this is another severe blow for her in her waning years of her life, to bury her second son. No one knows the reason but we must trust that this is "His" plan. Let us not question why but understand that Errol is now in a better place for a better reason than we can fathom. I wish for Mrs. T, Maureen, Sandra, Warren and Jeannette, Phyllis, and all other family members relief from the grief of this sudden unforeseen loss. May Errol's soul rest in peace!"

"Words seem inadequate to express the sorrow felt by the loss of Errol. We grow up in the same neighborhood in May Pen and were friends; he impacted so many of us with his love, his laughter, his music - by playing his guitar and singing; he played in a band with my uncle Byron; he was my BFF; he will be truly missed. My heart is with his Mom; sisters _ Dona Marie, Hopie, Maureen; brother, Warren and the entire Thompson Family. "

"RIP Uncle Errol. You will be missed. "

"Please accept my condolences for the loss of Errol. I was so saddened to hear the news. Errol made an impact on my life in many ways but what immediately comes to mind is his writing in my High School book of Autographs - a very poignant and telling piece, "The height that great men reached and kept were not attained by sudden flight. But they while their companions slept were toiling upwards through the night." Errol was the epitome of that saying and I often use the saying to motivate many, including myself. Indeed, Errol was the fun-loving young man who had us believing that he was not worried about his studies. But don't be fooled. He passed with flying colors, those O and A level exams we had to take. His success in life is a testament to his quiet ambition. Nothing would get in the way of his achieving his goals. His life speaks for that. Now he is gone too soon. May you take comfort in the memories you shared and knowing that he was loved by others. Rest in Peace, Errol. Joan Hogarth "

"Please accept my condolences for your loss. There is no worse pain than losing a loved one to death, I also want to share with you the hope that we find in the following Bible verses. God promise in Isaiah 25:8 these comforting word, "He will swallow up death for ever, and certainly wipe the tears from all faces. The Bible also says that God will wipe away the tears from our eyes and death will be no more, neither mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away (Rev. 21:3, 4). What great joy to be able to live forever without the fear of losing our loved ones again. It shall be as he has promise, for God can not lie, Titus 1:2. "

"We are so sorry for the loss of your beloved one and our heartfelt condolences to the family. May the peace of God that surpasses all understanding guard your hearts and minds at this time of distress. (Philippians 4:5,6)"

"I remember our days together as young men in May Pen when we played music together as musicians. Errol, along with the great Willie Lindo and the other guys. Errol (affectionately called Luss) was a cool guy, fun loving and sometimes crazily funny. There would be no dull moment when he is around.a guy who did not take himself too seriously. I can say my memories of our friendship in our earlier years will stay with me forever. He will be missed. RIP MY FRIEND "
