Alan Thompsen, 51, a Silver Spring resident and 33-year Safeway employee, died
at a hospital in Baltimore June 15 from injuries he had received that day in a
traffic accident in Laytonsville.
A
spokesman for the Montgomery County police said Mr. Thompsen was riding his
2001 Harley-Davidson Classic motorcycle northbound on Route 108 when he
collided with a Ford Taurus driven by a 21-year old Laytonsville woman who was
pulling out of the Laytons Village Shopping Center shortly after 8 a.m. Police
said that it appeared that the car driver had failed to yield the right-of-way.
Mr. Thompsen, an Oregon native, came to the Washington area in 1961 and
graduated from Northwood High School in Silver Spring in 1968.
He
had worked for Safeway mainly in Northern Virginia and was a night stocker in
its Burke store at the time of his death.
Over
the years, he had participated in motorcycle rallies, including the Memorial
Day Rolling Thunder rally in Washington this year. He was a member of
Alcoholics Anonymous and the Rebos Club, and had received awards for aiding
alcoholics.
His
marriage to Janet Thompsen ended in divorce.
Survivors
include his daughter, Molly Thompsen of Burke; his mother, Ruth Naumowicz of
Silver Spring; and two sisters, Carol Hestvik of Ellicott City and Nancy
Sherwood of Reston
