The backhoe, Kubota, welder, planers and countless other pieces of equipment that were his life will now rest with him. Survived by his wife of 70 years, Dorothy Jean Wood (Thompson), brother-in-laws Jim Thompson (Annette), and Bob Thompson (Chrisula) and sister-in-law Linda Carter (Bob) and several nieces and nephews. Bob lived a life committed to hard work and strong principles. Your word was your word and a handshake was a promise. Cremation has taken place and he will rest at the Cherry Valley Cemetery after a private family service.
