John 'Nort' Francis Thompson

John "Nort" Thompson, 63, of Sandusky, passed away unexpectedly early Tuesday afternoon, November 3, 2020, at his home.
   Born on June 6, 1957, in Sandusky, OH the son of Harold "John" and Helen Elizabeth (Volz) Thompson.  He was a 1975 graduate of St. Mary's Central Catholic High School.  John had worked at the Ford Lorain Assembly Plant, for 30 years, retiring in 2006, at the age of 49 years old.
