Robert Payne Thompson (11/11/1915 - 01/11/2009)



This past Sunday Wesley's granddaddy went to be with the Lord. He will be missed by so many who love him. His funeral was so sweet. Everyone kept remembering fun stories from their childhood. Like the time Robert took Joe and Billy to cut a Christmas tree and when they got their they realized that they didn't bring a saw. Robert whittled the tree down with his pocket knife. He was a good daddy and husband to Katie Mae. He was a daddy of 2, granddaddy to 7 and great-granddaddy to 13. We was born, raised, lived, died and was buried in Lewisburg, TN. At the visitation as everyone was leaving, Reed stopped and waved and said bye-bye great-granddaddy. We look forward to the day when we will meet again.
