COUNCIL #12839 - STS PHILIP AND JAMES REMEMBERS
ROBERT THOMPSON

 

Sir Knight Bob Thompson passed away this winter of 2018. Bob, from Massapequa Park, served as Mayor of Massapequa, President of Massapequa School District and Chamber of Commerce. Bob was a Korean War Veteran and a member of The American Legion Sherwood Brothers Post in St James. Bob worked for the NY Telephone-NYNEX Co for 40 Years. After the Funeral Mass at Sts Philip & James RC Church, interment followed at The Grace Episcopal Churchyard Cemetery in Massapequa.
Bob was an active 4th Degree Member of our council at Sts Philip & James Church, at which he also served as an Usher and Member of the Parish Council. Bob, a fixture at our monthly meetings, was generous with his time and could always be found participating in our various fund raising activities, even during his declining health. Bob was our go-to guy to secure our place in the pavilion at Little Africa for our Annual Summer Picnic.
Rest in the Peace of Jesus, Bob. You will be missed.
