James Thomas, of Redmond, Washington passed away peacefully March 20, 2024 surrounded by family. Born March 4, 1934, in Waynesburg, Pennsylvania, “Jim” found a home in Seattle following his service in the Navy. Discharged during Seafair, he fell in love with the city, and decided to stay. Jim married Carol Sollick in 1961 and together they raised Brian and Kathy before Carol’s passing. After a long career at Sundstrand Data Control, Jim retired in 2001. Following retirement, he dedicated his time to volunteering at Hopelink. Jim enjoyed golfing ,traveling, and a shared passion for the exhilarating entertainment and vibrant atmosphere of the casino with longtime companion Donna. Nothing, though, brought him joy like the time he spent with family. Jim’s life was a testament to family and community. A proud father and grandfather, his love and support were unwavering. His presence at every game, match, and event will be deeply missed. Jim is survived by his brother Lowell, son Brian (Julie), daughter Kathy (John), 5 grandchildren, and 7 great grandchildren. Rest in peace Dad. You will always be remembered.
