John Thompson

John Samuel Thompson was born in Bessemer, Alabama on March 3, 1931. In his early years he attended Dunbar High School and shortly after he enlisted into the United States Air Force and served during the Korean War.
After the war he returned home to Bessemer and married Annie Jean Vance. To this union two children were born, Kenneth and Calvin. John was dedicated to his family and always made sure they were well taken care of. He worked and retired from U.S. Pipe after many years of dedicated service.
John loved God and his church family. For many years he served in the church as a deacon. He was a faithful servant until his health began to decline.
Left to cherish his precious memories are his children, Kenneth and Calvin Thompson; granchildren and a host of nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.
