John Plunkett Tompkins passed away March 17, 2023 in his
102nd year. He was born in Tompkins, Codroy Valley, NL on April 27,
1921.
He first worked at the family business, Afton Farmhouse, a
well-known hotel and fishing and hunting establishment. It was here
that he met his future wife Kathleen (Kay) Sears. In 1956 the family
moved to Sydney, NS where he worked his way from pastry cook to
executive chef. In 1968 he became chef at Mt St Bernard College and,
later, manager at KFC. In his community, Johnny was a member of St
Joseph’s church choir (Sydney), Knights of Columbus, Town of
Antigonish Tree Committee, and a long-serving Heart and Stroke
canvasser.
A passionate Newfoundlander, he continued yearly visits to
the Codroy Valley until age 97. Johnny loved sports, music, dancing
with Kay, and going for drives in the car. Observing wildlife,
gardening, picking apples, berries, and roadside flowers gave him
great pleasure. A well-dressed and sharp-witted gentleman, he put
people at ease.
Predeceased by his parents, James and Ursula (Burke)
Tompkins, his seven siblings, his wife of 64 years Kathleen (Sears),
his granddaughter Alecia Maudsley, and his great-granddaughter Keira
Kilbane. He will be forever loved by children, James (Ronalda), Claire
(Ralph Downey), Maureen (George Robinson, deceased), Brian (Anita),
and Patricia (Steve Maudsley); 12 grandchildren, and 20
great-grandchildren.
A special thank you to Dr David Cudmore, Elaine Bowie, Faye
McKenna Steeves, Mary MacDonald, Anna VanZupthen, the late Sheila Deon
and the staff at Antigonish Manor and the R.K. MacDonald Nursing
