Robert Thompson

Robert S. Thompson, Sr., 88, formerly of Danville, NH, died on March 26, 2020 at Kirkwood Corners, Lee, NH, his home for the past 4 years.

Born October 5, 1931, in Haverhill, MA, he was the son of Alexander G. and Eleanor Thompson. He graduated from Haverhill Trade School, and served in the U.S. Army at the end of the Korean War.

They spent their retirement years in their homes in Danville and Colebrook, NH until Rui's death in 2016, when Robert moved to Kirkwood Corners. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, camping, and playing cards with family and friends as well as tinkering around his homes, mowing the lawns, and, especially, eating sweets.

He leaves behind a sister, Shirley Smith of Virginia; and a brother, Alan Thompson and his wife Kathleen of Florida; 4 sons, Joseph and his wife Andrea of Danville, NH, Robert Jr. and wife Cheryl of Allenstown, NH, John of Cyr Plantation, ME, and William of Hagerstown, MD; daughter Kathryn Simpson and husband Brandan of Manchester, NH; granddaughters Tracey Adams and husband Micah, Ashley Trenholm and husband Robert, and Shaun Simpson; grandsons Connor Simpson and wife Caitlin, and Joseph Thompson; and great-grandchildren Zoe and Sadie Adams and Calvin Trenholm.
