Memories and Condolences
for John Tompkins

Not sure what to say?





Jack and I played softball together for nearly 25 years. His ability to hit line drives at will made him the best hitter on the team. He played 2nd base with skill and ease. We spent many memorable moments together both playing softball and socializing. He was a good friend. I was stunned to hear of his passing. My deepest sympathy to the family.

Jack looks so much like his father! I have wonderful memories of him when we would visit in Winfield as kids. I miss you all and have been praying for all of you. Death is always toughest on those of us left behind. Know that he is more alive than when he was on this Earth and he is closer to all of you than you can imagine. Great guy, great cousin. Peace be with him. Love you guys. Cousin Teri
