Clinton Thompson
Clinton Thompson, 72, of Celina, died at 11:25 a.m. June 10, 2013, at his residence.
He was born Feb. 11, 1941, in Lee County, Va., to George C. and Laura Smith Thompson. On May 19, 1990, under the arbor he made at their home, he married Lynne Harris, who survives.

Preceding him in death were his parents; his brothers, L.C. Thompson and Douglas Thompson; his sisters, Ruth (Rex) Parsons and Betty (Richard) Belden; and his sisters-in-law, Marge Thompson and Bette Harris Davis.
He was a house siding installer. He truly enjoyed his job and never met a home he didn't like. He most recently had worked for Doyle Homes of Lima. He enjoyed his home at Behms Landing, fishing and supplying fish for the neighborhood fish fries.
