I never did get to meet Mr. Thompson but knew of him through his daughter, Sue, so I know he must have been a wonderful person with a great sense of humor because she does too. Also, all of his family are very successful, interesting people so I think that is a great compliment to a person's life. I know he will be missed terribly but hope that his family can feel near to him when they visit the lake. Love, Jan Petner##imported-begin##Jan Petner##imported-end##
Melroy Thompson was a great man. He made each person he encountered feel special and always had such a positive outlook on life. The memories I have of him will continue to live on through my children as I, along with my Mom {Martha Lane Kirk Mainor}, have told them about what a wonderful person he was and the thoughtfulness he showed to others. I feel privaledged to have known Melroy and very fortunate to have been a member of his family. He will be greatly missed.##imported-begin##Mike Mainor and family##imported-end##

Pop was a wonderful, loving man. One important thing I learned from him is to tell my loved ones how proud I am of them and how much they mean to me as often as possible. His sincerity, humor, and peacefulness will be missed.##imported-begin##Jennifer T Campbell##imported-end##
