Larry Myers Thompson, 69, of Noblesville, passed away on Sunday, March 18, 2012 at home. He was born on September 2, 1942 to Myers and Nina (Maners) Thompson in Bloomfield, Indiana. Larry fought a courageous battle with terminal brain cancer, and now is in Heaven with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Larry worked 40 years as a concrete finisher for Big Three Concrete Co., retiring in 1997; and had most recently worked at Harbour Trees Golf Club in Noblesville. He was a member of Noblesville Baptist Church, and a veteran of the National Guard, serving in the Vietnam War from 1963 to 1969.
He loved his family with all his heart. He was a wonderful Dad and Grandpa. Everyone who met him became a real friend. Larry loved to travel with his wife, Carolyn, and usually a grandchild or two. They were always together and went everywhere together.
Larry supported the St. Joseph's Lakota Children's Indian School. He was also a proud American, and loved his country. He loved his church and church family as well. Although he is away from us now, his legacy will live on.
