Our sister-in-law, Becky Lynn Rolfsrud, lost her 75-year-old brother yesterday after a tragic fall. Gerald Thompson, the eldest of nine children, was celebrating his 53rd wedding anniversary at a local restaurant when he tripped on a curb and struck his head, suffering major brain trauma.
He never recovered.
He leaves his wife, Ellen, and a host of relatives. Our condolences go to them all on this shocking turn of events. We will share further information as it is available.
"Jerry joins the man upstairs to visit our grandparents, parents, brother, John, and nephew, Dan, to name a few," said Becky Lynn. "He will be very much missed."
Becky is the wife of Stan's brother, Virgil.
