3. Thomson Today
Like the Ladmo Bag, Thomson has become something of an Arizona institution. The Arizona Historical Society inducted him into their hall of fame, and he even continued to open fast food restaurants but by a different name than the old fast food joints. For years, Thomson made live appearances, a nod to his years as Wallace Snead. In 2014, on July 23, Bill Wallace finally passed away. He was 82; the cause of death a private matter. However he passed, fans suffered from a collective broken heart. Thomson left behind not only his legacy as Wallace but a wife and three children.
