Thompson, age 72, fell asleep in the Lord peacefully at home surrounded by his family, Friday, October 8, 2010. Born July 20, 1938 to C. Gail and Norma (Christian) Thompson, Jim graduated from East High School in 1957 and over the years served as one of the school's staunchest supporters. Mr. Thompson also attended Gannon University. He served in the U.S. Army's 142nd Military Police Company graduating from Provost Marshall General School. Owner and operator of Rosebud Flower Shop since 1957, he conducted business out of the building once the family grocery store. Thompson also spent many years working for Christian Services for Children placing 58 children from South America, 7 from Korea and 2 from India into loving homes in the United States. He was an avid hockey fan, rarely missing an Otters game and enjoyed watching the Steelers with his friends and family. Jim had three loves in his life; his family, the City of Erie which he loved passionately and being a florist. He was an original organizer of the first neighborhood watch groups leading to his involvement in the Erie politic! al scene. Currently in his fourth term on Erie City Council, he served as president in 2002, 2004, 2005 and 2010 and re-formed the Vacant Property Review Committee. During his time on council, he was befriended and mentored by the late Mario Bagnoni and was often referred to as one of the "three amigos" along with Bagnoni and former councilmen Jim Casey. Re-establishing interest in the Sister City relationships, Thompson developed strong ties with Zibo, China, traveling twice to our sister city. In addition, he established an association with Lublin, Poland and orchestrated numerous student exchanges over his six visits to Poland. Thompson also led two delegations to Dungarvan, Ireland where he is revered as a legend for his efforts in building a strong friendship between our cities. Most recently, Jim was successful at re-establishing a sister city relationship with Merida, Mexico. He was a founding member of the Friends of the Poor, a group of east-side florists working tirelessly to provide 4th of July festivities to thousands in our community over the past 21 years. Four years ago the group expanded their efforts to include a Christmas celebration for young people living in the lower east side. He was a member of Saint Nicholas Orthodox Church where he served on their Board of Trustees. He is one of the few remaining lay Brothers of the Community of the Way of the Cross. Mr. Thompson served as national board member of the International Floral Transworld Delivery (FTD), an advisory board member of 1-800-Flowers, Director of District 3-D for Floral Transworld Delivery, Past President of Erie Allied Florists and past Director of the State Floral Association. In addition he was a life member and past president of the Erie Maennechor Club. He is survived by his loving and devoted wife JoAn Romanowicz Thompson, and seven children, Cindy and husband Mark Konkel, Dr. Mark and wife Laurie Thompson, Gregory, Rodrigo, Cecelia, and Matthew Thompson and Ruth and husband Brian Carroll.

Hello everyone, I don't know why my posts to group lists have all the ? embedded into my post.  The only real (?) question marks that should have been posted are the ones with multiple (?) question marks. Maybe some else has experienced this problem with posting and can advise me how to correct. Thank you Tracy Thompson Tomaselli

I think "my"Thompsons were orig.from Scotland and planted in No.Ireland by the English king.My idea was that they were among the thousands of Scots-Irish coming to the Colonies first to Pa.then to the Cumberland Valley of Va.There were famines and high rents plus religious persecution by the English who wanted all-Catholics and Presbyterians alike-to be Church of England,so they left.Good for them!

Hello, I response to a query back in 1999, I am posting some information re: the family line of Charles Darius Thompson, b. March 18, 1853.  His parents were E.C. (Edward Charles) Thompson and Prudence Belden Overturf, who married July 4, 1852, Higginsport, Brown Co., OH.  Edward Charles Thompson was b. April 17, 1833 in CT (probably Cromwell, formerly the north society of Middletown).  He was the son of Gaylord H. Thompson, of Middletown, CT and Chloe Stevens who married November 1, 1827 in Wethersfield, CT In researching the Thompson family of Madison, CT, I was looking at the land transactions and saw this item: Volume 2, p. 165- 170. November 1829 and received for record April 4, 1832 power of attorney for Samuel Lynn of Durham to act as power of attorney for David and Melorah Lynn of Durham, Appleton and Harriet Stevens of Middletown, Gaylord H. Thompson of Middletown, Elijah and Florinda Stevens of Wethersfield, Asenath Dayton of Durham, Barron D. Thompson of Madison, and Charles Thompson of Durham.  (Not listed are: Asher, d. 1823; Nicholas, d. unk).  Samuel Lynn to act on their behalf on a 1 1/2 acre parcel of land lying in the East part of Madison bounded North partly by land belonging to wife of Samuel Parmelee and partly of Timothy Hill, West of Timothy Hill, South by highway, east by land formerly of David Thompson.  Those mentioned above Quit Claimed the land for $20 to Samuel Lynn. (Note:  Melorah, Harriet, Elijah, Asenath, Barron and Charles were all siblings.  They were the children of David Thompson who died in 1828.  Only 2 of David's children do not appear:  Nicholas, no further info; and Asher, who died July 24, 1823, CT) (Note 2:  Recently published article re: David Thompson in the CT Nutmegger, September, 2010 p. 174-178) In working on the children of David Thompson, I had never run across Gaylord H. Thompson before, so  I went to Middletown, CT to lookup him up.  Unfortunately, there were no vital records on him.  There were several land transactions for Gaylord and his wife Chloe showing they purchased land in the Cromwell section of Middletown.   Gaylord's first purchase was on February 16, 1828 and Chloe's first purchase was on Sept. 1, 1832.  Gaylord's last purchase was on July 8, 1839 (vol 68, p. 382) -Gaylord H. Thompson of Middletown purchased 15 acres, No. Society including the undivided half of the Brickyard, machines, timbers, boards and all other moveable property from Joseph Edwards for $375. I then went to the probate office, where only one line appeared to provide the clue needed to verify my suspicion: Middletown, CT Probate Record, Vol 13, p. 163 July 19, 1825  Zenas Edwards is chosen by this court appointment guardian to Gaylord Thompson a minor son of Asher Thompson dec(ease)d. My other research findings/notes on this line include: 1830 United States Federal Census - appears married with son and daughter Name: Gaylord Thompson (only one Gaylord Thompson listed) Home in 1830: Middletown, Middlesex, Connecticut Free White Persons - Males - Under 5: 1 Free White Persons - Males - 20 thru 29: 1 Free White Persons - Females - 5 thru 9: 1 Free White Persons - Females - 20 thru 29: 1 Total Free White Persons: 4 Date: 1836-10-08; Paper: Patriot and Eagle Middletown Democratic Ticket elected: Gaylord Thompson - Constable (1 of 8) 1840 United States Federal Census - appears married with 3 sons and 1 daughter Name: Gaylord Thompson (only 1 Gaylord Thompson listed) Township: Middletown Ward 1 County: Middlesex State: Connecticut Free White Persons - Males - Under 5: 1 Free White Persons - Males - 5 thru 9: 1 Free White Persons - Males - 10 thru 14: 1 Free White Persons - Males - 30 thru 39: 1 Free White Persons - Females - Under 5: 1 Free White Persons - Females - 20 thru 29: 1 In 1850, we find Chloe Thompson and her children in Higginsport, OH: (can not locate Gaylord in 1850 as of yet, or deceased) 1850 United States Federal Census about Chloe Thompson (listed with 3 sons and 1 daughter - matches 1840 census count, except for husband Gaylord) Name: Chloe Thompson Age: 43 Estimated birth year: abt 1807 Birth Place: Connecticut Gender: Female Home in 1850 (City,County,State):town of  Higginsport Lewis township, Brown, Ohio Family Number: 437 Chloe Thompson 43 -     Innkeeper   ****  (her and kids all b.

Chloe Stevens in Wethersfield, listed in a family tree as the Gaylord Thompson who was born in Peru, MA on January 24, 1807.  This Gaylord was the son of William Thompson and Fannie Starr.  Since none of the census records for Gaylord Thompson of Higginsport, OH or Competine, IA, this family line posting is in error.    I am still searching for the death information on Gaylord Thompson and his wife Chloe Stevens.  If anyone has additional information, I would greatly appreciate it.
