Arthur (A.C.) Conrad Thompsen died peacefully on Wednesday, February 24, 2016. A.C. was born November 26, 1944 at Fort George Wright in Spokane, WA to Arthur and Genevieve Thompsen. After serving six years in the U.S. Marine Corps, A.C. settled in the Spokane area. He was employed at Kaiser Trentwood and retired after 32 years of service. He married Martha (Marti) Dryden in 1970 and they raised their two sons on the family property.
A.C. is survived by his wife, Marti; Will and Kristine Thompsen of Hayden, ID; Jed and Amanda Thompsen of Deer Park, WA; grandchildren Maria, Lane, Rhett and Baby Thompsen on the way.
We will miss his booming voice, his sense of humor, all the funny stories and his hardworking hands. A.C. will be remembered as a loving, protective and proud husband, dad and papa.
At A.C.'s request, no memorial service will be held. The family looks forward to the time when "all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out" and "the meek will possess the earth and they will find exquisite delight in the abundance of peace." (John 5:28,29; Psalms 37:11) To learn more about the family's hope for A.C., please visit www.jw.org.
