What good memories I have of James. We worked together years ago at Michelin Research. I was a young engineer just getting started. James was a good friend and an advisor to me, someone who put work into a bigger perspective. James also helped my wife Cathy and me as we restored an old gristmill in Traveler's Rest. James is someone for whom I am thankful, a positive force in my life. My prayers are with his family and friends. I will sorely miss him. Ed Stone, Pelzer,SC

The children of the late Rev. & Mrs. A.B. Sherman are saddened to hear of the passing of Rev. Booker. He was such a man of God, who blessed many lives, especially ours, and one we called family! To Minnie Ruth & family, please take comfort in knowing that he is in that beautiful land called Heaven, where we all long to be. And may the blessed peace of the sweet Holy Spirit surround you at this time and forever. God bless each of you. And as always, you are in our thoughts & prayers.
