Tompkins, Stan WWII Veteran (1942-1945) Passed away peacefully surrounded by his loving family on Friday, May 27, 2016 at the age of 93. Beloved husband and best friend of Irene "Rene" (nee Smith) of more than 70 glorious years. Loving and devoted father of Heather (Stan) Blair and Mary (Ron) Kishi. Proud and cherished grandfather of Stephen, Andrew and Scott (Sarah) Blair and Diane Sepa-Kishi (Peit Sepa) and Matthew Kishi. Stan was the sweetest great-grandfather to Brynn, Nora and Ella Blair. He will be sadly missed by Rene's entire family. Stan was an outstanding husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather, as family was everything to him. As a civil engineer for the Canadian National Railway, Stan moved with his family throughout Ontario and Quebec. In retirement, he enjoyed a round of golf at the Perth Links O'Tay Golf Course, or a day in his garden. He had a brilliant and sharp mind right up to his last day. His ability to recall current and past events was truly remarkable at his age. He will be sadly missed by all who knew him. The family would like to extend special appreciation to the dedicated doctors and nurses at the Perth Hospital for their care and concern for Stan and his family. Friends may pay their respects at the Blair & Son Funeral Home, Perth on Tuesday, May 31, 2016 from 2 to 4 and 6 to 8 p.m. A service to celebrate his life will take place at St. Paul's United Church on Wednesday, June 1, 2016 at 11 a.m. Interment will take place at Rideau Ferry Cemetery. As an expression of sympathy, donations may be made to Cystic Fibrosis Canada.
