James Thompson

Dear family of Jim Thompson,
I am sorry to hear of the death of the man I only heard referred to as "Cousin Jim in Pennsylvania." He and my father and other Thompson cousins of their generation had a flurry of email exchanges 20 years ago, which my father printed out and kept in a notebook that I am only now starting to go through. There´s a lot of Thompson history here! Apparently Jim was going to build a Thompson/Bennett/Prosser family history website and the cousins were going to contribute everything they could find about their own branches on the family tree. I came to the internet to see if I could find his website-instead, I found this very recent notice of his passing, a sad and uncanny coincidence. Heartfelt condolences to you on your loss. He sounds like a remarkably accomplished and personable man.

Prayers of sympathy to all of Jim's family. Jim was very athletic at Rochester, PA High School (1965) and provided us with his photos and videos of our classmate's activities. Always smiling and very kind to everyone. Jim chose the right career path and was very successful at each step of advancing in broadcasting. He will be missed by the many people that were fortunate to call Jim their friend. Rest In Peace my friend!
