THOMPSON, Sr. GEORGE HAMILTON Age 80, passed away peacefully, in his Oakmont home, on September 1, 2015, after a two year battle with brain cancer. He was the son of the late Florence and John Murray Thompson, Sr. of Plum Borough. George was the beloved husband of Mary Lloyd (Thomson) Thompson; and the father of George Hamilton (Judy) Thompson, Jr., Carolyn (Paul) Molingowski and Susan (Tom) Ferguson. He will always be "Pop Pop" to his nine grandchildren, Nicholas, Ted, Luke, Charlie, George III, Oliver, Molly, Libby, and Bennett. He is also survived by his brother, John Murray (Eleanor) Thompson, Jr. of Plum Borough and his sister, Margaret Ann Fowler of Chicago. Born in Plum Borough in 1935, George was a graduate of Blair Academy, Lycoming College, and Dickinson School of Law. He practiced law for 55 years with his partners and associates in the same firm, Thompson, Calkins, and Sutter. George was a lifelong - over 80 years - member of Plum Creek Presbyterian Church, where he served as an Elder and Trustee. As a member of Oakmont Country Club for over 48 years, George served on the Board of Governors and as club president. He would be found at the club faithfully every Friday afternoon in the swat room playing cards followed by a dinner date with Mary Lloyd. George had served on the Board of Plum Creek Cemetery and had been the president of that board for the past ten years. He also served The Borough of Oakmont for over 30 years as a member and as the chairman of the Zoning Hearing Board. He was also a member of the Duquesne Club, PH Investment Club, and Homewood Hunting Ranch. He adored all five of his toy poodles, each of whom was named Blackie. Although not a veteran, George was brought to tears when paying respect to those who have served our country. He loved our country and was a devout Republican. He prided himself that he had voted in every election until May 2015, when he was too infirm to make it to the polls. George was a loyal and generous friend who never hesitated to give thoughtful advice, even if it was not what you wanted to hear. His integrity and honesty were without question, a trait that he learned from his parents and passed on to everyone around him. There will be no viewing. Friends are invited to attend a celebration of his life at Plum Creek Presbyterian Church, 550 Center New Texas Rd., Pittsburgh, PA 15239 on Saturday, September 26, 2015, at 10:30 a.m. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Plum Creek Presbyterian Church Mission Fund, Family Hospice, 50 Moffett St., Pittsburgh, PA 15243, or the Hillman Cancer Center, 5115 Centre Ave., Pittsburgh, PA 15232.
