TOMPKINS, James Gerard 'Jim' – "Express Condolences"
 Died peacefully with his family by his side on Thursday, May 2, 2013, at St. Joseph's at Fleming.
Jim was born in Tompkins, Newfoundland on April 9, 1926, the son of James and Ursla Tompkins. He attended St. Francis Xavier University, however accepted a role as an economist with Imperial Life in Toronto before finishing school. He returned to complete his BA in 1950, and then took a brief job writing for a paper in Alberta.
Jim spent three years at St. Augustine's Seminary in Toronto before making the tough decision not to pursue the priesthood.
In 1965 Jim narrowly missed joining the Diefenbaker government as the MP for Humber-St. George's riding. His career would take him to Brockville, Manotick (where he rented from A.Y. Jackson), and Ottawa where he got to travel the world on trade missions working for the federal government. He enjoyed a 35-year career before retiring as an economist with External Affairs Canada.
He found the love of his life and married Anne Powers in 1972, who predeceased him in 2008, and had a son, James Richard Tompkins. Jim was happiest when surrounded by family and friends where he would share his gift of humour and love of politics. He loved the outdoors and spent most of his free time gardening or in the woods, where he always managed to find a rabbit or a Christmas tree.
Jim was the beloved father of James Richard Tompkins (Stephanie), and grandfather of Patrick and Taylor Tompkins. Jim is survived by his brothers John Tompkins and Stanislaus (Theresa) Tompkins, and predeceased by Mary (John) McCormick, Father Richard Tompkins, Margaret (Fred) Thompson, Patricia (Robert) Page, and Frank (Bride) Tompkins.
Jim is survived by his sister-in-laws Margaret Kinslow, Joan Foell and Joan Powers, and predeceased by his brother-in-laws William Kinslow, Woodrow Foell, Edward Powers, Daniel (Joann) Powers. He will be missed by his many nieces and nephews, family, friends, and scallywags.
Thank you to the caring and compassionate staff at St. Joseph's at Fleming who supported Jim over the last five years, and truly made him feel at home.
A Memorial Mass will take place on Thursday, May 9th at 10:30am at St. Louis Catholic Church, 53 Allen Street East, Waterloo, Ontario N2J 1J3 519-743-4101
Internment at Mount Hope Cemetery, Waterloo, ON.
Arrangements entrusted to COMSTOCK FUNERAL HOME & CREMATION CENTRE, 356 Rubidge St, Peterborough, ON, K9H 4C7.

LeBLANC, Diana Gail –
Passed away peacefully surrounded by family at the Guelph General Hospital on Wednesday, May 1, 2013.
Born in St. Thomas, the eldest of 3 children, she would often regale the family with tales of her tomboy youth.

After graduating from nursing school, she worked as an O.R. nurse and later ran Phil’s medical practice until their retirement. A nature lover at heart, she had many cats as pets throughout her life, and was ardent supporter of wildlife charities (among others). Even as her health deteriorated, she continued to enjoy friends and family, playing bridge, reading, cooking, and taking care of her husband Phil.
She is survived by her beloved husband Phil, her son Philippe, and step-children, Michael (Vancouver), Jocelyn, Barbara, Susan LeBlanc, and Owen Brock of London, and Cathy and John Trocchi of London. Loved grandmother to Matt, Becky, Nikki, Emily, Jake, Christina, Ryan, and Zack. Big sister of Glen and Theresa of Alliston, and Jami and Gale of Alberta. Aunt to Erin, Trevor, and Nicole.
