Robert Thomson passed away peacefully on November 29, 2021 at the age of 89. He was preceded in death by his high school sweetheart Sue, to whom he was married to for over 62 years. Bob served in the U.S. Navy during the Korean War, and he and Sue called four places home: 1) Key West, FL, 2) Ridgefield Park, NJ, 3) Cedarburg, WI, and 4) The Villages, FL where Sue and Bob spent their twilight years singing and dancing with new friends. Bob was the public address voice of the Ridgefield Park Scarlets and the Cedarburg Bulldogs football teams, and the MC of the Villages NJ Club Talent Show. He never shied from the spotlight or being the center of attention, as he was part Jerry Lewis and part Frank Sinatra. He loved being around family and friends. He had a successful thirty year career with Continental Can Company in both New Jersey and Wisconsin. His commitment, dedication and strength were immeasurable. Bob leaves behind three children: Susan (Michael) Scott of Schwenksville, PA, Linda Astrella of Fruitland Park, FL, and Rob (Wendy) of Orlando, FL. He also leaves behind 5 grandchildren: Christopher (Julie), Samantha (David), Nicole, Alexandra, and Robert III "Trey". Visitation will be at St. James Cathedral at 1:00 pm on Tuesday, December 7, followed by a Mass of Christian Burial at 2:00 pm. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can be directed to the Thomson/Yonfa Fund at the Central Florida Foundation, 800 N. Magnolia Ave., Suite 1700, Orlando, FL 32803 (www.cffound.org).
