WE REMEMBER: Brian Thomas Thompson, Dix Hills

By Kevin Redding

Family called Brian Thomas Thompson the “weekend man” — a Dix Hills dad who lived for trips to Robert Moses State Park, football and roller hockey games, and karaoke nights, according to a 2001 Newsday report. He coached Little League, showed up for PTA meetings and had just bought a new hot tub.

At 49, he was executive vice president of human resources for Fuji Bank on the 82nd floor of the second tower. He was working in the same office when he survived the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.

That September, he was focused on helping his 17-year-old daughter get her college applications together.

“He was so determined to make sure she was in the best place she could be,” his wife, Kathy Thompson, said at the time. “We feel robbed of so many could-have-beens … so many should-have-beens.”
