Mr. Windham, affectionately known by so many as “Mr. Jim,”was a living testimony of God’s mercy and grace to all who met him. He loved everyone and was a faithful servant of God, always putting others before himself. He was an active member of Florence Baptist Church in Pelion, SC and loved his church family. He served in many capacities at his church to include Sunday School Director, Sunday School teacher, choir member, and a member of the Men’s Ministry.

Mr. Jim also loved his Country and all branches of the military. He served in the United States Navy as a Seabee for nine (9) years which included tours during the Vietnam War. He worked for many years in the finance industry and retired from Richland Memorial Hospital (now known as Prisma Health Richland Hospital) after 28 years of service.
