Samuel Thompson, started insurance agency in Park Hills
Samuel F. Thompson, who started his own insurance agency in the mid-1940s, died Monday at St. Elizabeth Medical Center South in Edgewood. The Fort Mitchell resident was 90.
Mr. Thompson was a salesman for several life insurance agencies before founding his own general insurance agency, Thompson-Boerger Insurance Inc. in Park Hills.
"I just think he felt like it was an opportunity to get ahead in the world," said Mr. Thompson's only child, Mary Lou Boerger of Fort Mitchell.

Mr. Thompson was born in Dry Ridge and grew up near Falmouth. After graduating from Falmouth High School, he moved to Covington.

Mr. Thompson was a 50-year member of the Covington Lions Club. He was active in the Elk's Club and, after retiring, he was a member of the Fort Mitchell and Blessed Sacrament Church senior groups.
"He was just a hard-working, very nice-to-his-neighbor person," Mrs. Boerger said. "He did a lot of good works - he'd drive people around when they were sick or needed help."
