From artsbahamas (...conch een ga no bone) and Ringplay:

It is with great sadness that we report on the passing of a great patron of the arts and a friend and doctor to many artists.

After a brief illness Dr. John Wavell Thompson has passed away. He will be missed especially for his humor and friendship.

More can be found on ...conch een ga no bone, the arts board, especially in the R.I.P. thread.

The past two years have been too full of personal and professional losses. This year, my father would have been seventy if he had lived, and I will be forty-five. Time to re-examine life, thought, work, and other things. Time to jettison the futile and the pointless. Time to take risks, to sow the wind.
