Mr. Crompton was a gem. After being victimized by many electrical contractors, Mr. Crompton had his crew fix my problems at a very discounted rate. He never asked for it, but after I got back on my feet, I paid him the rest of what I should have been charged. What a wonderful person.

I´m the oldest of Jim´s seven children and my fondest memories are praying with my Dad so all of the family could believe in Jesus Christ as their own personal saviour!!

I am privileged to call Jim´s eldest daughter, Amy, one of my dearest friends. She has often shared her dad´s testimony of the saving power of Christ. Her own strong relationship with Jesus bears witness to her dad´s legacy of faith. May the assurance of his eternal home be a source of comfort and, if you haven´t already, may it be a call to make it yours, too, by humbly repenting and receiving Jesus as Lord.

I first met Jim while working as a Building Official in Norwich. We quickly struck up a friendship. He would come in often for permits and we would end up talking about everything under the sun. He was always positive and had an easy way about him. I am proud to say he was my friend. I am sure he will be missed by all who knew him.

I first met Jim when I got my first real job as an apprentice electrician for Crompton electric. As my employment continued. Jim was not just my employer but a mentor and most of all a friend. He also allowed me into his family to become close with all his family. Through the 10 years of working for Jim he instilled in me the knowledge and work ethic that followed me through the rest of my working years. Thanks to his influence I was able to become a successful contractor on my own. Now I am able to retire thanks to the work ethic Jim showed me. In later years I kept a close friendship with Jim. Even him visiting me in Florida at my home and making us a strawberry pie. In my early employment with Compton electric at a job call the Oddfellows nursing home I worked installing the nurse's call system with the manufacturer and he told Jim he should get rid of me for I would not amount to anything. Well thanks that Jim had the faith in me and help to make me who I am today. Through the years he had the same effect on many other employees. He will be greatly missed, and it was an honor to have known him.
