In her “about me” page on HealthPartner’s website, Paulette said she loves “spending time with my two boys and taking them to all of their activities. I also love boating, spending time with family and friends, playing piano, biking, and traveling.”
“We are heartbroken by the tragic loss of Brian Thompson, CEO of UnitedHealth and father of two Wayzata High School students, one current and one who has graduated,” Wayzata High School Principal Scott Gengler said in an email Wednesday.
The Thompsons “were present around all of the team events,” said Brandon Carlson, assistant coach for Thompson’s eldest son’s lacrosse team.
Brian and Paulette “were very supportive of their son,” Carlson said. “He’s an amazing young man and a teammate everyone would want to have.”
Several members of Thompson’s family could not be reached by phone Wednesday or declined to comment.
Both Thompson and his wife graduated from the University of Iowa. A University spokesman said he got a bachelor’s degree in business administration with an accounting major in 1997, graduating with special honors and highest distinction, meaning his GPA was 3.95 or above.
