Gone but not forgotten. We miss you, Tump.

Played a lot of golf and ate a lot of lunches with Tump at Royal Saint Augustine. More than that, we were friends off the course too. Tump grieved deeply over the recent deaths of Mary Lou and Craig - I think more than he let on. He was a 100% straight, honest guy. He will be missed by all the guys in the RSA Men''s Club.

obituary Family,
So sorry to know of Tump's passing and that of Mary Lou. Did not know of her death until seeing Tump's obituary.
We treasure the many years of friendship, beginning with being next door neighbors as young families. Thankful to have called them friends and for the wonderful memories, especially their kind and caring ways. We will always hold them close in heart. Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers.

I was privileged to meet Tump and his dear wife through Eric and Joy. Whenever they spoke about Tump it was with love, respect, and admiration in their voices and often with loving concern about his health. What a dear legacy and the health concerns are now behind him forever.

To the Family On behalf of the Townsend Family Reunion - our deepest sympathies in the loss of your Dad "Tump". He will be remembered as a kind, thoughtful and humorous man. The Family remembers his faithfulness to the Townsend family. In the Townsend Family - Family is everything. We will miss his smile at our Family Reunions. Cozzie and Dianne Roberts

To the family of Mr Townsend my sincere condolences. I spent countless hours with "Tump" mapping out horticultural and landscape designs at Vista Cove. I always looked at him as a man of genuine integrity. With his wife at his side I am sure he's designing a garden in heaven.

Great memorys with a great man.R.I.P. Tump

First, a neighbor, then the best of friends for more than twenty years. Can’t say enough good things about this prince of a man. He will be ... and already is ... missed. Goodbye, my friend. See you on the other side.

It was my pleasure to be able to meet and spend time with both Eldridge and Mary Lou. Keeping the family in my prayers.
