Glenn L. Thompson, 81, of Danville, passed away on December 26, 2024. He was born in Seco, Kentucky on March 16, 1943, to the late Harley and Beatrice (Smith) Thompson. Glenn married Janet Booher on May 8, 1965, and she survives. 

Glenn was a Teamsters Union Local 135 truck driver for over 30 years before his retirement in 2005.

From butter pecan to banana splits, Glenn always had a taste for ice cream. Above all, Glenn loved spending time with his family. His spunk and wittiness will be sorely missed. 

In addition to his parents, Glenn is preceded in death by his brother, Harold Thompson.
