HUGH TOMPKINS

HUGH HARRISON TOMPKINS  
Of Key Largo, FL and Bethesda, MD, a true gentleman loved by all died on April 18, 2018. Born in Richmond, Virginia on October 21, 1946 to the late Rhoda Davis Taylor Tompkins and William Fraser Tompkins, Jr. He is survived by his devoted wife Constance Corby Tompkins; four daughters, Candice Corby Mulcahy, Laura Corby Tanner, Elizabeth Corby Brooks, and Mary Corby Wolff; four sons-in-law, Edward James Mulcahy III, Gregory Charles Tanner, David Church Brooks, Jr. and Daniel Paul Wolff; "Grumpy" to 10 grandchildren; and three brothers, William Fraser Tompkins III (Dorothy), Seldon Taylor Tompkins (Donna), and Benjamin Temple Tompkins. He graduated from St. Christopher's School in 1965 and Virginia Military Institute in 1969, where he was a starting defensive tackle for the football team. He proudly served as a Second Lieutenant in the United States Army and received a Bronze Star in the Vietnam War. He had a lasting career in residential real estate and general contracting.  Tremendously supportive, Hugh was happiest surrounded by his wife, daughters, family, friends, and dogs. He loved tennis, swimming, skiing, being on the water in Cape Cod, and music. Hugh was an avid car enthusiast with a true passion for vintage car racing. A man to be admired, he was devoted to his church and giving back to his community at the Southeast White House in DC. Hugh was the epitome of charm and will always be remembered for his wry sense of humor, his warmth and kindness. A memorial service will be held at All Saints Church in Chevy Chase, MD at 3 p.m. on Saturday, April 28. In lieu of flowers, donations in his honor to the Southeast White House (DC Dream Center) are encouraged.
