    It is with a very heavy heart and great sadness that I write this post.

    Yesterday at 3pm and with no prior illness or signs my great friend and fellow conspirator at school passed away.

    Richard “sparky” Thompson, 47, you will be missed.

    Funeral service is expected to be at The Mount. Details when I know them.
