Teammates,
We are sad to announce the passing of
Dave Thompson (class 68-2) on October 22nd from lung cancer. Dave is survived by his wife Marla as well as friends and teammates around the world.
Dave distinguished himself with tours in SEA and CONUS
resulting in awards of the Distinguished Flying Cross, Meritorious Service Medal, Air Medal as well as other awards.
Dave's funeral is scheduled for 1pm, Wednesday, 20 November 2024 at the Albert G. Horton, Jr.
Memorial Veteran’s Cemetery, 5310 Milner Road, Suffolk, Virginia 23434.
Some of us did not know Dave or just met him in passing with a hand shake. Dave now joins the squadron of PJ Rescue Angels who have made their
final jump. Please keep Marla and Dave's family and teammates in your prayers.
