Firefighter Gilbert “Bud” Thompson– Jul 1933 – Aug 2026

Surrounded by the love he carried through every chapter of his life, Bud Thompson has reunited in spirit with his beloved wife Rhona and daughter Wendy. His memory lives on in his son‑in‑law Wayne, his grandchildren Braden and Lindsay, and in the heart of his brother Don, who predeceased
him, and Don’s wife Jo, who continues to hold Bud close in thought.

The Warner and Hamill families will forever remember Bud’s quiet strength, his humour,
and the way he made family feel like home.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made to MS Canada, Muscular Dystrophy
Canada or a charity of your choice. Online condolences and memories may be shared via
