William Edward Thompson

William E. "Bill" Thompson entered eternal rest peacefully on Tuesday, September 6, 2022. A native of Lockport, NY, Bill was U.S. Army retired (1SGT) and is preceded in death by his parents, Ralph A. and Irene S. Thompson; and brothers, John O. (J.O.) and David Thompson.
He is survived by his loving wife of 65 years, Dorothy R. Thompson; daughter, Miriam M. Gebhart (Seth); and granddaughter, Brittany M. Gebhart, of Hopewell; and a brother, Jim Thompson (Paula), of Delaware.
Bill remained employed until the age of 80. His last employer was Honeywell, in the company store, where he was fondly remembered as Bill, "the shoe guy."
He was faithful to God in his life and served his community as a Deacon, hospital volunteer, a Gideon, and taught Sunday School for many years.
A burial service will take place at his home church in St. George, SC with family at a later date. Condolences may be registered at www.jtmorriss.com .
