A decorated Vietnam War Veteran, CMSgt. Robert Eugene Thompson, USAF (Ret.) earned his Heavenly medal while surrounded by his family in his hone on Tuesday, April 19, 2022.
The son of the late Robert Guthrie and Delores Joann Rance Thompson, Robert was born on October 26, 1951. Raised in Logansport, Indiana, he attended Logansport High School where he was part of the band and wrestling team. During that time at the young age of 15, Robert met the love of his life, Patricia who was 14 years old. In 1971, after Patricia graduated high school, they married at Clymers United Methodist Church in Clymers, Indiana.
Shortly after his high school graduation, Robert proudly joined the United States Air Force where he served as a crew chief and in many various aircraft maintenance roles, retiring as Superintendent at Head Quarters Air Force Reserve Command Robins AFB, GA. Robert served with pride and honor for a total of 30 years in the armed forces, where he achieved rank as the youngest Chief Master Sergeant in the Air Force at that time. Following his career in the military, Robert continued serving his country as a Senior Analyst and Logistics Contractor for 20 additional years. He was well known for solving many complex problems, some of which supported high-level rescue missions throughout the world. Bob received many special recognition letters from several Presidents. His dedicated work ethic and high analytical skills led him to receive an open invitation from the Chief of Staff of the Air Force for a position at the Pentagon at any time, if he desired.
A musician since Junior High School, Robert spent his spare time playing guitars and drums. He was a part of many bands throughout his lifetime and enjoyed collecting musical instruments, as well as books and antiques. He loved history and art, and was a profound writer. Robert also enjoyed being outdoors in nature and spending quality time with family. Strong in his faith, Robert was an Ordained Minister of the Christian National Church.

Tom Thrall
01 Dec 1950 - 06 Dec 2005
LINDEN, Wash. - Thomas K Thrall, 55. Bellingham, formerly Logansport, died Thursday, Dec 6, 2005, in his residence.
Born Dec 1, 1950. in Logansport, he was the son of Maurice and Nina J Killian Thrall.

Following college, Tom worked as a boy' home counselor and as an emergency room technician in the Lafayette area.
In 1980, Tom embarked on a trip west on his motorcycle and ended up in Washington on May 18, when he became trapped by the fallout from the Mount St Helens eruption. He apparently liked what he saw in the area because he remained in Washington ever since. For a while he worked in Aberdeen as an EMT and surgical technician before heading up the coast to Bellingham, where he had resided since 1981.
His dry wit, good humor, conversational repartee and loyalty will be sorely missed.
Surviving are one brother, Col (R) Terry Thrall and his wife Lucie, Mesa, Arizona; one sister, Mary Ellen Thrall, Logansport; one nephew; and many friends and acquaintances in the Bellingham area.
His parents and infant sister preceded him in death.
