LuAnn Lydia GRIGGS (*) (~) (+) (*+) and Richard Lee THOMPSON were married on 10 August 1968 in West Allis, Milwaukee County, WI.^{294,296,299,306} at Nain Evangelical Lutheran Church.

L. Thompson in the Social Security Application and Claims Index.

The Pope surname was that of the second husband of his mother, but it is not known if Richard was legally adopted by him.

(The JerryTatum81 family tree website lists Richard's birthplace as Elk Point, Sasketchewan, Canada. That is believed to be an error.) He was baptized on 19 March 1950 in Edmonton, Alberta Province, Canada.³¹⁰ He may have been baptized at the Ukranian Catholic Church, which was a few blocks from his home. It is believed that his mother's ancestors were Ukranian. He emigrated on 5 April 1950 from Edmonton, Alberta Province, Canada.³¹⁰ His emigration document states that his "Last Permanent Residence" in Canada was 10350 155th Street (NW) in Edmonton and his nationality was Irish.

He and his father and mother arrived in America at the US Customs and Border Protection Station in Sweet Grass, Toole County, Montana. On 5 August 1968 Richard was a Retail Salesman for Sinclair Refining in Milwaukee, Milwaukee County, WI.³⁰² He lived in Milwaukee, Milwaukee County, WI on 5 August 1968.³⁰² at 4000 South 5th Place. He served in the military between about 1972 and 1989.³⁰⁷ It is believed that he joined the U.S. Marines some time after his marriage in 1968 or his divorce in about 1971.

On 6 October 1989 he was awarded the Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal by the Commandant of the U.S. Marine Corps for "Meritorious Action." The award may have been for action that resulted in his death, which occurred on 15 December 1989. There is a military hospital in Clayton, Georgia, and he may have been undergoing treatment there when he died.

His rank was Gunnery Sergeant, so he moved rapidly up the chain of command to reach that rank in 17 years or so. A Gunnery Sergeant (E-7) in the United States Marine Corps is a specialized non-commissioned officer who manages firepower and logistics for a company-sized unit of Marines. The rank of Gunnery Sergeant is unique to the Marine Corps. Richard lived in St. Petersburg, Pinellas County, FL in 1985.³¹¹ (According to the obituary of his step-father, Robert Lee Pope, Richard resided in St. Petersburg at the time of Robert's death.) He died on 15 December 1989 at the age of 39 in Clayton, Rabun County, GA.^{309,312,313,314} He was buried in 1989 in St. Petersburg, Pinellas County, FL.²⁹⁸ in the Memorial Park Cemetery, in the Garden of Prayer section.
