Rockwood City Councilman Bill Thompson lost a long battle with cancer Sunday morning.

He didn’t lose his wit and charm during his health struggles, and he stayed positive during his treatments, rarely missing a Rockwood City Council meeting.
“Even when he was so sick, he’d say, ‘I’m going to get to feeling better.’” said City Recorder Becky Ruppe.
Thompson was even positive when he recently attended a finance meeting and was encouraged to return home.
