Donald Thompson (age 67) was born in Brooklyn, NY on April 6, 1955. His parents were Ann and Donald Thompson. He was the oldest of 4 children. He had one brother, Robert, a sister, Susan and another sister Patricia.
Donald's favorite pastime as a child was playing ball. He continued playing softball throughout his adult life and made many friends on the teams.
Donald met Joanie while hanging out with friends on the streets of Brooklyn. He asked her to be his girlfriend on March 31, 1973, and the rest is history. They married on May 13, 1978. They moved to Lindenhurst in March of 1984. Their first child, Kelli, was born on November 8, 1979. Their son, Kevin, was born on April 8, 1985. Kelli married her husband, Pete, in June of 2006.

Donald's love for his granddaughters was immeasurable. He was lucky enough to spend a lot of time with them and enjoyed taking them to many different places. They were truly the light of his life and melted his heart.
Donald and Joanie loved traveling; especially cruising. When he retired from Petro Heating and Cooling Company in 2018, he enjoyed finally being able to relax. When Joanie retired in 2020, they were together 24/7 and made wonderful memories.
Donald was a very special man. He had a good sense of humor and was always willing to help someone out. He loved his family very much and would do anything for them.
Donald was taken from us way too soon on February 27, 2023 after a very brief illness. He left this earth surrounded by his loving family holding his hands. He will be dearly missed by his friends and family, but his memory will live on in all our hearts forever.
