Dear Nancy and family,
Your father was a delightful gentleman. Caring thoughts are with you.
Sincerely, Ann and Horace Ward

Nancy & Sue and Families-
So very sorry to hear the news of Dev's passing. I was fortunate to work with him at Dawn after he left Foote & Jenks.
Over those years I came to know Dev as a consummate gentleman; a devoted husband to his lovely Mary and a loving father to his family.
The world needs more people like Dev Tompkins.
Please accept my sincere sympathies and my deepest condolences.
Sincerely,
Miles (Mike) Jones

to Sue and Bob, Mike...

I feel very badly for having missed your Dad's funeral last week.
Please accept my condolences to you and Dev's entire family. He was a truly genuine and wonderful person....my mentor
during my young formative years. I first
met him when I became active in the Sea
Scouts in about 1950, and then when Harry
Devlin passed away in 1960 I took the opening at Foote & Jenks and worked under Dev in his department. He was like a second father to me...

I knew Delvin from the YMCA. He always had a great smile. He took spin classes. He will be missed. My condolences to the family.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Tompkins Family. May the many wonderful memories of Devin bring you comfort during this time.

Sue and Bob
Dan and I are so sorry to hear of your father and father in laws' passing. In reading the FB memorials and his obituary, he was quite a wonderful man who had a great impact on many people. What an honour to have had a gentleman like that in your lives!

What a wonderful man always had a smile on his face. He will be sadly missed.Condolences to his family and friends.

Sue, Bob and Family, our sincere sympathy to all of you. Can't you just see all those square dancers dancing the hours away in heaven. May your Dad rest in peace. Bob & Bunny

Nancy, I met your father at th Y where he was always present. What a fine gentleman. So sorry to hear he passed away. God bless you and your family always! Jim Quillen
