George was born in Frankfort, Germany on October 4, 1946 to a Military father, George Charles Thompson and a French born mother, Leone Mauricette Sempe. He came to the United States at 3 years old and lived in New Jersey. He stayed there until his sister was 4 and he was 7 and the family moved to Alaska. They were there for a short stint and went back to Germany. Stayed a year then back to Alaska then back to Germany, France, Italy, Germany and finally the U.S.A ending up in Florida. They were there for several years then George went back to Germany where he finished school and graduated from Kaiserslautern American High School in 1965 in Germany.
George joined the Air Force and after his stint was over he returned to Pennsylvania where most of the Thompson family lived. George married and had a beautiful little girl on July 20, 1983 Nicole Marie Thompson she was the joy of his life. He has 3 wonderful step children from this union as well and did remain close with them after the union ended. Several years later George ran into and married the love of his life and soul mate Pat Taylor. They had met many years earlier when he was working the Carney circuit he always said she was the one that got away. This time it was not going to happen, she had been the person who had given him the Sultan head ring all those years ago when he met her in the Carney and he never took it off.
The irony in this was it only lasted 8 short years and Pat died in his arms from cancer and he never really recovered from her death. He moved here shortly after Pats death and Nicole was the person who was with him during the last 5 days of Pats life helping him and the 5 days following her death making the funeral arrangements she was his rock when he needed her and he loved her.
Later in life he moved to Garden City, SD where he retired. He thoroughly enjoyed fishing, hunting, golfing, bowling, riding Harley's and being with friends playing cards and chess.
Preceding him in death was his father, George Charles Thompson.
