Thompson, age 87 of Montello passed away Wednesday, January 11, 2023 at Aspirus Divine Savior Hospital in Portage.  Myron was born in Oxford on June 7, 1935 to William and Mildred (Drew) Thompson.  He graduated from Oxford High School in 1953.  He married Joan (Neale) Daniels on April 6, 1968 and together they had one daughter, Traci.  Myron also became a wonderful father to Joan’s eight children and treated them as if they were his own.  Joan preceded him in death on July 3, 2015.
