In loving memory of Robert "Bobby" H. Thompson

Obituary

Thompson, Robert “Bobby” H., 93, passed away on November 22, 2021, at his residence in Ocala, Florida. Bobby was born in Butler, Ohio on June 19, 1928, to parents, Clell and Allie Mae Thompson.

Bobby was employed by Live Oak Stud Farm for over 36 years, and after retiring from farm work, he loved to drive by the farm and would say Live Oak Stud is the prettiest farm in Marion County. After one day of retirement, he joined the crew at Jim Thompson Plumbing for 25 years. He enjoyed a lot of different things in life; he was a mechanic and could fix anything that had a motor. His children would often call him, and he could diagnose a problem over the phone and instruct them on how to fix it. Bobby was a faithful member of Berean Baptist Church here in Ocala for many years.

Bobby is survived by his children, Barbara Thompson of Ocala, FL, Robert H. Thompson, Jr. (Linda) of Mt. Juliet, TN, Brenda Thompson of Dunnellon, FL, Paul Thompson (Addye) of Ocala, FL, Betty Thompson (Dean) of Newberry, FL, and Jim Thompson (Pam) of Salt Springs, FL; sixteen grandchildren; thirty great grandchildren, and two great-great grandchildren. Bobby was predeceased by his loving wife, Marilla, two granddaughters, Becky Davidson, and Holly Britt, and siblings, Bill Thompson, Ike Thompson, and Lucy Townsend.
