Walter N. Thompson

Mr. Thompson was born April 9, 1941 in East Liverpool, a son of the late David W. and Lois (Warrick) Thompson and had lived his whole life in the area.

Always a hard worker, Walt did his best to provide for his family, working his younger years in the coal mines and owning and operating the “Big T” scrap yard for over 35 years. Walt loved going to auctions with his friends, just hanging out and helping anyone in need. He also enjoyed getting glazed donuts from Whitehouse Fruit Farm. He also enjoyed driving and spending time with the Millers, taking them anywhere they needed to go.

His wife, Linda L. (Boso) Thompson, whom he married April 14, 1963, preceded him in death Oct. 2, 2001. He was also preceded in death by his brothers, George Thomas Thompson, Daniel Thompson and William “David” Thompson; and by his granddaughter, Savina Mae Halverstadt.

He is survived by his daughters, Linda S. (Dale) Warrick of Guilford Lake and Treasel M. (Mark) Halverstadt of Leetonia; grandchildren, Christopher, Athena, Michele and Colton; and great-grandson, Richard. He is also survived by his special friends David, Barbara, Karen, Joshua “Flapjack” Miller.

A memorial service celebrating Walt’s life will be held at noon Saturday, Oct. 29, 2022 at the Upper Room Fellowship Church, 500 Sponseller Road, Columbiana, Ohio 44408. A time of food and fellowship will follow at the church. The family will receive guests from 11 a.m. until the time of services. Walt will be laid to rest beside his wife, Linda, at the Kemble Cemetery in Elkton.
