Thomas James Boulware

Obituary He heard a voice we did not hear say, "Suffer no more." He saw a hand we did not see that beckoned him away, for it was his time to go."I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race." 2 Timothy 4:7Peacefully and quietly, Thomas slipped away in the comforts of his home with his Joye by his side. Mr. Thomas Boulware was born on June 24, 1935 in Ridgeway, South Carolina, a son of the late James and Millie Scott Boulware. Thomas was educated in the public schools of Camden, SC and North Carolina.One faithful night Thomas heard the gospel and accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. On that night he was baptized and has been running for Jesus ever since. Thomas was a member of the Church of Christ where he served as a Deacon for over 20 years.Thomas believed in hard work and worked diligently at Campbell Soup until his retirement in 1991.
