GLENN S. THOMPSON
Glenn Sydney Thompson of Novato died Thursday, Oct. 27, 1988, at Novato Community Hospital after a long illness. He was 69.
Mr. Thompson, a native of Tacoma, Wash., was a veteran of World War II, serving in Europe and Okinawa with the Seabees – construction battalions organized as a volunteer branch of the Civil Engineer Corps of the U.S. Navy to build aviation facilities and naval installations.
He later worked for the California Department of Transportation for 35 years as a civil engineer.
He lived in Marin for 30 years, first in Terra Linda and later in Novato.
Over the years, he enjoyed golfing. But that hobby was cut short by a heart condition, for which Mr. Thompson received a heart transplant seven years ago.
He also enjoyed gardening, carpentry and, most of all, “being with his family,” according to his wife, Rosemary Thompson of Novato. “He was a devoted and beloved husband and father.”
Mr. Thompson also is survived by two sons, Lloyd Strom and Larry Thompson of Novato; two daughters, Roseanna Brand of Redondo Beach and Rhonda Carr of Novato; a brother, Loren Thompson of Tacoma, Wash., and four grandchildren.
The funeral will be at 11 a.m. Monday at the Valley Memorial Park Cemetery Chapel in Novato.
Friends may call at Keaton’s Redwood Chapel of Marin from 4 to 9 p.m. Sunday.
Interment will be at Valley Memorial Park.
The family asks that memorial contributions be sent to the American Lung Association.
