William A. Thompson

Bill was a devoted member for many years of St. Teresa of Calcutta Catholic Church in Fairdale, Kentucky. Bill proudly served his country in the United States Navy. He also served his community as Sergeant on the Louisville Fire Department for over twenty-one years. After retirement, he continued to serve on the Louisville Fire Department pension board.

Bill was a friend to everyone he met, he never met a stranger. He was devoted husband, father and grandfather. His capacity to love was immeasurable.

He was proceeded in death by the love of his life, his wife of nearly sixty-one years, Shirley Morris Thompson and sons, Jeffrey and Anthony Thompson.

Left to cherish his memory are his sons, Steve Thompson(Melanie), Roger Thompson(Joanie), daughter-in-law, Renee Thompson, grandchildren, Brian, Tori, Andrea, Dana, Eric, Cory, Cody, Hanah, Nicole, Adam and Chris, numerous great grandchildren, and siblings, Lawrence Thompson(Nancy Carol), Bruce Thompson(Jennifer), Sherrill Welch(Daniel), and a host of other family members and friends.

With regret, services will be for the immediate family only. A Memorial Celebration of his life will be held at a later time. Expression of sympathy may be made to Catholic Charities. Please visit our website www.archlheadypreston.com to leave your online condolences for the family.
