Chuck Thompson, 55, of Monroeville, AL, passed away Wednesday, November 19, 2014, in Atlanta, GA. Chuck was a graduate of Meridian High School and Mississippi State. He retired from International Paper after 32 years and was presently working for Georgia Pacific Paper Company as a controller. Chuck was a 32nd degree Mason, a member of the Hamasa Shrine, and attended First Methodist Church in Monroeville, AL. He enjoyed nothing more than being with his girls and coaching their softball teams, and taking them golfing and hunting. Chuck enjoyed fishing with his wife and had a passion for turkey hunting. He also loved traveling with his family and showing them the country. Chuck was always looking for a challenge and as he would say "If you're scared, say you're scared."
