Norman Earnest Ross Thompson

He will be greatly missed by his loving wife of 61 years Muriel; children Carol (Leonard) Pressey, David (Geri-Lynn), Janet and Gerry Thompson; grandchildren Clinton (Lindsay), Vincent (Sara), Graham (Aleks), and Timothy (Serina); and great-grandson Liam.

Ross retired in 1988 after 38 years at the Manitoba Telephone System. After retiring, he volunteered for 15 years for Victoria Lifeline. He enjoyed cycling, woodworking and travelling. Ross was never too busy to lend a helping hand to family, friends and neighbours. He was a dedicated lifelong member of St. Alban’s and St. Luke’s Anglican Church.

A service will be held on Monday, December 12 at 2:00 p.m. at Thomson “In the Park” Funeral Home, 1291 McGillivray Boulevard. A private interment will take place at a later date.

Our family thanks the doctors, nurses and staff for the excellent care he received at the St. Boniface Hospital in the ICCS ward at the I.H. Asper Institute and at the Victoria General Hospital.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Canadian Diabetes Association or a charity of your choice.
