Mr. Thompson was a great husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend. He attended Langrum Branch Baptist Church at a young age, and later became a member of Restoration Ministries Worldwide.  He worked as a machine operator for many years, and later retired as a concrete finisher.

When in good health, he enjoyed fishing, playing pool, watching sports and taking vacations with the family. He loved to spend countless hours talking with his son. Most of all, he was CRAZY about his grands and great-grands, and was a die hard Redskins fan!

James was united in holy matrimony with Katherine Davis on March 8, 1980 in York, South Carolina, a union which stood the test of time.

In addition to his parents, Mr. Thompson is preceded in death by his brother, Phillip Thompson.
