William "Bill" D. Thompson Sr., 66, of New Albany, Pa., passed away on Thursday, June 18, 2009, at Memorial Hospital in Towanda, Pa. He was born on May 2, 1943, in Pine Hill, N.J., a son of the late William E. and Betty Larson Thompson. On Jan. 16, 1964, Bill married Rita Haedrich in Feasterville, Pa. He had been a resident of Bradford County for 25 years, having moved from Bucks County. Bill was a self-employed plumber.
Bill held his community and civic duties very high, as he was active in many positions. He was a member of the New Albany Fire Co., Dushore Fire Co. & Ambulance Assoc.; the Lower South Hampton Fire Department, since age 16; and the Trevose Heights Rescue Squad. He also served as EMA Coordinator for Albany Township and New Albany Borough, and was the Vice President of the New Albany Borough Council.

Surviving are his wife: Rita Thompson, at home; his six children, Rita Thompson of Forksville, William Jr. of New Albany, Stephania Mulhollen of Granville Summit, Pa., Jackie (Scott) Hillyard of New Albany, Matthew Thompson of New Albany, and Danielle (Scott Lamphere) Thompson of Powell, Pa.; four sisters, Dot (Charles) Johnson, Carol Applegate, Gloria (George) Mongillo and Kathy (Toby) Horn; and eight grandchildren, Christopher and Cheyenne Heinze, Dakota Mulhollen, Austin, Anthony and Brienna Gowen, and Trey and Trent Lamphere.
