OBITUARIES
THOMPSON —Robert
Morris Thompson passed
away April 7, 2016, in
Vancouver, Wash.
He was born Dec. 4,
1921, in Natick,
Mass., to Harold C.
and Frieda Small
Thompson.
He was raised in the
town of Wellesley.
While studying forestry at
the University of Maine, he
and friends took a summer trip
to the West Coast. After seeing
the large trees in Oregon, he
decided right then that he
wanted to spend his career
there.
His studies were interrupted
by World War II, during which
he served as a U.S. Navy pilot
and instructor. After the war,
he returned to complete his
degree in civil engineering. He
then moved his family to
Oregon to begin a career span-
ning 50 years as a
professional engi-
neer, forester and
surveyor.
They lived in sev-
eral small timber
towns before settling
in Grants Pass,
where he lived more
than 40 years before retiring to
Florence.
He was a life member of
Professional Engineers of
Oregon and Society of
American Foresters.
He served on the Grants
Pass water board and the
Oregon Board of Engineering
examiners.
He was active in Dale
Carnegie Alumni, The Elks,
and
Professional
Land
Surveyors of Oregon.
He enjoyed hiking, camp-
ing, backpacking and music.
He is survived by daughters
Mariane Brightbill (Jay),
Maxine Thompson and Debra
Thompson; and son, Eric
Thompson (Phyllis).
He was preceded in death by
a son, Robert B. Thompson; his
first wife, Mary; and his second
wife, Rose.
No public service will be
held. Cremation has taken
place and, per his request, his
ashes will be scattered in the
forests he so loved.
SIMON—Joe B. Simon
was born March 22, 1930, to
Earl and Marie Simon, in
Roswell, N.M. He was the old-
est of five children.
He passed away Feb. 29,
2016, in Florence, where he
spent the last 30 years of his
life.
American Legion to host flag retirement
American Legion Post 59 of
Florence will host a public
Flag Day ceremony to formal-
ly retire flags. The event will
be Tuesday, June 14, at
Veteran’s Memorial Park,
1202 Bay St. at Kingwood
Street, in Historic Old Town
Florence.
The ceremony begins at 4
p.m.
“When a flag is so worn it is
no longer fit to serve as a sym-
bol of our country, it should be
destroyed by burning in a dig-
nified, ceremonious manner,”
said Rick Shores, the Legion’s
local post commander. “Faded,
tattered or torn flags do not
honor our nation. Proper flag
etiquette dictates how and
when flags are to be retired to
show respect for the nation’s
symbol. It is an honor and
privilege to host this annual
ceremony for the community,
so we invite everyone to
attend.”
The public is encouraged to
bring their worn-out flags for
proper retirement. Flags can
also be dropped off prior to the
ceremony at the Siuslaw
Valley Fire and Rescue Station
at 26th Street and Highway
101.
Shores will lead the ceremo-
ny with post chaplain Don
Jordan and a color guard from

According to the American
Legion’s website, a set of rules
of civilian flag courtesy popu-
larly known as the Flag Code
“was first formulated by the
National Flag Conference
meeting in Washington, in
June 1923. The Flag Code was
an attempt by prominent patri-
otic organizations to collect
together in one instrument
statutes, executive orders, and
rules of established custom
and usage relating to the U.S.
flag.
“On December 22, 1942,
Congress approved Public
Law 829, giving official sanc-
tion to most of the provisions
of the Flag Code.”
Key elements of the Flag
Code include:
The flag should be lighted
at all times, either by sunlight
or by an appropriate light
source.
The flag should never
be dipped to any person or
thing. It is flown upside down
only as a distress signal.
The flag should never be
used for any advertising pur-
pose.
The flag should never
have any mark, insignia, letter,
word, number, figure or draw-
ing of any kind placed on it, or
attached to it.
When the flag is lowered,
no part of it should touch the
ground or any other object; it
should be received by waiting
hands and arms. To store the
flag it should be folded neatly
and ceremoniously.
When a flag is so worn it is
no longer fit to serve as a sym-
bol of our country, it should
be destroyed by burning in a
dignified, ceremonious man-
ner.
He is survived by his
wife, Elsie; a brother, Ken;
two
sons,
Ron
and
Steve;
a
daughter,
Debbie;
three step-
daughters:
Pam, Julie
and Cindy;
13 grand-
Joe Simon
children and
11 great-grandchildren.
There will be a celebration
of life at the Florence Elks
Lodge #1858, 1686 12th St.,
on Sunday, June 26, at 1 p.m.
Florence home to new
onsite weather station
Lane Community College
(LCC) Florence Center is the
latest LCC location to receive
an onsite weather station, join-
ing the Eugene and Cottage
Grove campuses.
The new weather stations are
part of the Citizen Weather
Observer Program and have
been installed to allow partici-
pation in a national weather
network that feeds data directly
into national servers, working
in conjunction with the
University of Utah and
the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration,
parent agency of the National
Weather Service.
“Forecast information is
available free of charge to the
public through the National
Weather Service,” said Dr. Paul
Ruscher, Dean of LCC’s
Science Division.
The Portland office of the
weather service serves Lane
County and receives data from
each of these stations in real
time. Station data can be found
online at www.lanecc.edu/
florence/announcements.
