Glenn Richard Thompson Sr.

Glenn Richard Thompson Sr., 83, of Renfrew, entered into his heavenly home Wednesday, Feb. 15, 2017, at Butler Memorial Hospital.

He was born Sept. 30, 1933, in Bakerstown, the son of the late Warren and Marie Thompson.

Glenn worked for Step Saver Kitchens and Halstead Mitchell. One of the greatest joys in his life was starting Thompson's General Contracting where he worked with his sons and sons-in-law. He worked into his 70s until failing health forced a retirement. Glenn attended Butler Church of the Nazarene.

He married Ethel Jane Fehl Sept. 21, 1951. They were married 53 years until her death April 11, 2005.

He enjoyed his work and time spent with his family. We will miss his tender smile and heartfelt prayers. The circle is unbroken.

He is also survived by eight grandchildren, James Jr. and Jeff Kane, Mike (Christine) Thompson, Keith (Brianna) Thompson, Glenn (Jacquie) Thompson, Alisha Stephenson, Aaron (Brittany) Stephenson and Amber Stephenson; and seven great-grandchildren, Bailey and Molly Thompson, Tyler and Kayla Thompson, T.J. Thompson, Malachi Stephenson and Tommy Stephenson.

One of nine siblings, Glenn is also survived by sisters, Mildred Coyne, of Pittsburgh, Elva Jean Downing, of Butler, and Nancy Critchlow, of Saxonburg.
