George G. Thompson, Jr.
George G. Thompson, Jr.CrossGeorge G. Thompson, Jr., 80 of Ostrander died unexpectedly Wednesday, September 1, 2021 at Memorial Hospital ER.

He was born August 15, 1941 in Unionville Center to the late George Gifford, Sr. and Alice Melverna (Justice) Thompson. On June 2, 1963 he married Doris J. Thompson and she died November 19, 2005.

A graduate of Richwood High School, he spent the next 4 years serving our country in the U. S. Marine Corps.  While in the Marines, he played guitar and bass in a Christian bluegrass band. Following that, he became an ordained minister in the Church of Christ in Christian Union.

In 1969 George moved to Circleville to attend Circleville Bible College. Following that, he worked for GE for nearly twenty years in the maintenance department. In 1986 he came to Delaware, having been called by God to serve the Belle Avenue Church of Christ in Christian Union (3CU) until 1990. He moved back to Circleville and continued pursuing his bachelor’s degree from Circleville Bible College during his fifties. While there he attended Kingston 3CU.

Serving the Lord and bringing everyone he knew to Jesus was central to George’s life, especially through his music. Starting in the Marine Corps and continuing for the next fifty years of his life, playing music to glorify the Lord was his constant calling. George never knew a stranger and would never waste an opportunity to help a soul find salvation, through music or just through his genuine kindness and love of the Lord.

Just two months ago he moved to Ostrander and had found it to be one of the happiest times in his life and was looking forward to living out his days in peaceful retirement. Not only was George a fisher of men, but he was also an enthusiastic fisherman. He would never be without a pole in his car and a bucket of bait just in case he came across an opportunity to go fishing.

He is survived by two daughters, Carolyn Rose (Jim) Chute, Richwood; Anna Nichole (Tom) Meehan, Ostrander; two sons, Daniel Gifford Thompson, LaRue; David Mark (Linda) Thompson, Circleville; nine grandchildren, Bryanmichael (Kim) Porter, Ashley (Benjamin) McWherter, Caleb Porter, Eric (Chelsea) Chute, Chelsea (Tim) Young, Charlie (Jessica) Davis, Thomas Meehan, Cadet Noah Meehan, U. S. Army, PFC Sebastian Meehan, U. S. Army; sixteen great-grandchildren; a brother, Robert Austin, Chiefland, Florida; and a sister, Louise Smith, Marion. He was preceded in death by a brother, Brian Keith Thompson.

Funeral services will be Wednesday, September 8, 2021 at 2:00 PM at the Stofcheck-Ballinger Funeral Home, Richwood with Jim Timmons, Jr. and Pastor Jim Pollard officiating. Military honors will be conducted by the Richwood Area Veterans. Friends may call two hours prior to the service, beginning at noon. His final resting place will be in the Price Cemetery.

Memorial gifts may be made to the family, to help with unexpected expenses, in care of Stofcheck-Ballinger Funeral Home.

My sympathy’s to the Thompson family.  My cousin Junior, as we always called him, was truly a man of God.  He loved the Lord and would engage in a conversation at anytime about his Savior.

How wonderful that God blesses us with the gift of memories. In your sadness may these memories of George bring comfort. I am sorry Bob and I never had the opportunity to meet him, but I believe we would have got on well. We could have connected as fellow musicians. Also, my Great Grandfather was a minister. We are sending sincere sympathy to you all.

George's Family~~  We are sadden to hear of George's passing yet rejoicing that he's now with Doris in heaven.  Their earthly journey was amazingly eventful and a true blessing.  Sandra knew George since first grade and I met Junior in the 8th grade.  We all are Tigers of 1959 proud defenders of the orange and black!
