John Charles Thompson

West Point, 1965

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Bob Frank on November 19, 2019:

Step Tyner's remembrance of J. C. is spot on. As a fellow company mate of John's, I had the pleasure of a two year association from 1963 to 1965. It was the beginning of a long friendship, one that was reinforced many times by our encounters in the Army. John was always trying to improve things, and that included me! He arranged for me to attain his apartment in the Cullum BOQ in 1972, which, in turn, positioned me to meet Mary. So, two Classmates from the same BOQ were married within two years! Thanks, John!! Our subsequent crossings included Wildflecken, the Pentagon the Hoffman Building, and the Inter-American Defense Board and the Inter-American Defense College. John was always cheerful and a joy to be with. His passing has left me with a sense of deep loss. I pass my condolences to his lovely wife, Linda.
