Michael J. Tompkins

Tompkins, Michael J. of Hingham, passed June 14, 2018 after a long battle with Alzheimer’s Disease.

Mike adored his family, especially being “Pup” and “Papa” to his grandchildren. He was an avid Red Sox fan and loved Fenway Park and used to attend every Friday game with his close friend Dave Murphy. He loved to travel all over the world, being on the beach, and long walks at World’s End. He owned a house in West Falmouth and enjoyed going to Old Silver Beach with his family and friends. Mike graduated from North Quincy High School class of ‘62 and attended the Franklin Institute. He proudly served in the United States Army and was stationed in Germany for 3 years. He owned Tompkins Electrical in Hingham, which is now run by his son. Mike was a well liked and respected member of the community.
