Theodore Karl Thompson

Theodore was a devoted family man. He is predeceased by his loving wife Dorothy in 2019. He is also predeceased by his sisters Martha Anderson, Ethel Peper, Theresa Grondhal and Tutty Grondhal. He is lovingly remembered by his daughter Diane Marano and her husband Len; son Gary Thompson and his wife Donna; daughter Nancy Thompson; granddaughter Dana Cunningham and her husband Alex; grandson Luke and his fiancée Whitney; and great-grandson Cole. He was predeceased by his beloved wife Dorothy and sisters Martha Anderson, Ethel Peper, Theresa Grondhal, and Tutty Grondhal.

Born on February 6, 1933, Theodore was a resident of Hillsdale and previously lived in Jersey City, and Cliffside Park. He lived a long and fulfilling life marked by dedication to his family, and career. He was immensely proud of his more than 35-year career with Ford Motor Company, where his strong work ethic and commitment left a lasting impression.

A caring neighbor known for his generosity and pride in all he did, Theodore found joy in simple pleasures. He enjoyed bowling, working with his hands as a skilled handyman, and attending his grandchildren’s sporting events—always their biggest supporter from the sidelines.
