James Fendall Parkinson III
Oct 29, 2002
Real estate lawyer James Fendall Parkinson III loved being with his three girls. He was "content not to be out with the guys or playing golf on the weekends. He wanted to be with his children," said his law school friend John W. Luxton.
Mr. Parkinson died Saturday in Richmond. He was 54.
"He was a great dad," said Artie McGurn, his brother-in-law. "You could almost set your clock by him. He'd get home by 5:30 or quarter to six, eat dinner with the family and help with homework or go to his children's activities.
"He had a pretty good knack for helping people.
"I don't know if being born on the fourth of July had anything to do with it, but he was very patriotic. He loved life and where he was. He loved Hampden-Sydney, he loved Virginia and Richmond and where he lived."
After graduating from Hampden-Sydney College and the University of Richmond's T.C.
Williams Law School, he practiced in the Richmond area from 1973 until he died. Much of his practice was residential closings referred to him by real estate agents, Luxton said.
For about eight years, he was an assistant commonwealth's attorney in Chesterfield County and then worked with a group of lawyers before going solo in the 1990s.
The Richmond Legal Aid Society had recognized him for his pro bono work.
He was a member of the Richmond Bar Association, the Virginia State Bar and the Country Club of Virginia.
Survivors include his wife, Katrina McGurn Parkinson; three daughters, Catherine Clare Parkinson, Frances Fendall Parkinson and Margaret McGurn Parkinson, all of Richmond; his mother, France
Williams Parkinson of Henrico County; and a sister, Ann Rice of Hampton.
A memorial service will be held Wednesday at 2:30 p.m. at St. Bridget's Catholic Church, 6006 Three Chopt Road, where he was a member.
