Robert Thompson Obituary
Bob was born on June 30, 1921, in Wallingford son of the late Clifford F. Thompson and Mary (Simson) Thompson. He was a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Yale University, class of 1943, and a Veteran of the U. S. Army Air Corps having served during World War II. He worked as a bookkeeper for Wallace Silversmiths, General Manager at Barberino Rental and Leasing and later retired from Triple Springs Water. He was a lifelong member of the First Congregational Church in Wallingford where he served as treasurer for over 50 years. He was also a member of the Church Choir and Men's Club. Bob's involvement in the church very much defined the man he was. He was a past-president of the Wallingford Rotary Club. In his early years he was an avid stamp collector. He loved spending time at his property in New Hampshire; he enjoyed blueberry hunting and growing tomatoes.
He leaves to celebrate life, his wife Agnes ""Nan"" Thompson, of Wallingford and their children, Robert P. Thompson and his wife, Peggy of Alabama and Sally T. D'Allesantro, of Wallingford. Bob also leaves four grandchildren, Gina M. Montano and her husband, CJ, of Illinois, Melissa S. Thompson DVM, of Georgia, Corrine R. D'Allesantro of Masschusetts, and Robert J. Thompson of Alabama; along with two great-grandchildren, Lyla and Eva Montano.
A memorial service will be held on Tuesday, August 13, at 11 a.m. at the First Congregational Church in Wallingford. Interment will be private and at the convenience of the family.

My deepest sympathies on losing your life long love and friend Nan. I always enjoyed the talks Bob and I had while he was waiting for his car to be done. Even at his age, he was wise way beyond his years.

So sorry to hear that Bob passed. He put up with me and taught me a great deal about keeping the books at 1st Church as a Trustee.

As a member of First Congregational Church, I have seen Mr. Thompson for many years. He did a great deal of work for our church - and was a joy to listen to in the choir. Nan, my deepest condolences to you and your family. He will be greatly missed. May God give you comfort and guide you through this difficult loss.
