Edward John TOMPKINS

Dear Thompkins Family I am deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Edward. Please accept my heartfelt condolences during this incredibly difficult time. Edward was a dear friend during our years together at The Rivers School, and the memories we shared are a cherished part of my life. Edward was a remarkable individual-an outstanding student, a natural leader, and a person driven by an unwavering sense of purpose. His dedication and focus toward everything he pursued left an indelible...

Ed was a great friend and teammate of mine at both Deerfield and Harvard. Over the past 38 years we shared countless adventures, tons of laughs, ups and a few downs - mostly related to health, but Ed was always ready to rally with our band of brothers. Ed was a star, and loved by all who knew him. He was an incredible athlete and would bring cheers from the crowded sidelines as he sprinted down the field at Deerfield football games and helped Harvard Rugby win the National...

I have only great memories of Eddie Tompkins. From being a college roommate at Harvard, to shared experiences in Lake Tahoe, Cape Cod, and on the golf course. When I was in the army, I traveled to Phoenix to hang with Eddie and play some golf and recreate. Last visited Eddie and Sharon in 2016 with my wife during a medical conference. His kindness, wit and sense of humor will be greatly missed. Eddie, I love you like a brother from another mother. You´ll be missed. May the road rise to meet...

Eddie and I were pre-teen besties! We played together almost every day. We even shared our baseball card collection. Eddie was loving, funny, incredibly athletic and a terrible (but enthusiastic) drum player. I will miss him dearly.

With a heavy heart I send my condolences to Mrs T and family. I´m so sorry for your loss. Eddie was a dear high school buddy and loyal friend. I´m grateful for all the wonderful HS memories we shared - football, baseball, 9th grade Spanish class, skiing, hiking and exploring New England. ET, you made high school fun. RIP old buddy, you´ll be missed.

I´m so sorry for your loss. I have such fond memories of Edward and Rachel Road. Thinking of you all

My Condolence to Claire & Ed's Family - Sad news about my college roommate and friend from years ago. Eddie and I skied and backpacked the mountains of New England together; I have many happy memories of our times together on the trails. Ed was a good friend and teammate to many, he will be missed. Godspeed, Ed.

Dear Claire and Family, Saddened to hear of Edward's passing. Our sincere condolences to you and your family. Sincerely, Nadia & Ralph
