Neal was such a handsome and kind gentlemen who will be greatly missed by the entire Hingham Community. Please accept my sincere condolences and sympathies. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. Take care and God Bless you all. Shaun Galvin

Please accept my deepest sympathy for the loss of your beloved son, Neal J. Tompkins. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers. Although, I did not know your son, I understand the depth of the loss of your child. My son, Gregory Kelly Porter, died unexpectedly in Hingham on July 23, 2008. I found assistance with The Compassionate Friends, a non-denominational support group of other people who have lost a son or daughter or a brother or sister of any age for any reason. A local chapter of this group meets on the 1st and 3rd Monday of each month from 7:00 PM to 8:30 PM in the Parish House of St. Paul’s Church, 20 Fearing Rd., Hingham, MA. For our personal contact information, please call the funeral home and they will provide it to you.

Dear Tompkins family - I am so sorry to hear about Neal! My deepest sympathy goes out to all of you. With love & sympathy, (Ms.) Marion Brewer

Kathy, Jeff, Meredith and JT: You have been in our thoughts and prayers from the moment we heard this terrible news. We will always cherish memories of Neal from the Ridge Hill School and play date days, especially the Beanie babies out the window one. That one will always bring a smile! I know your memories of Neal will make you smile and ease your hearts. Much love from all of us.

Jeff and family; may these words of sympathy bring some comfort in your time of loss.

I am so very sorry and sad about your loss. My heart goes out to your family. All the best, Holyn Nickerson

Our hearts go out to you Thompkins family, Neal's girlfriend and friends, who have to deal with the unexpected loss of your son and brother, boyfriend and friend. We wish you all the strength you need to cope and come to terms with this tragedy. Our son's (Bart Buurman) heart is broken and so is ours by only the thought of being in your shoes. Please know that you are in our hearts, thoughts and prayers in the very difficult time to come. Hugging Bart felt extremely special when he came home after the vigil on Friday. Bart went back to Burgess with a broken heart but with the strength of Neal's positive look at life and Bart will succeed to make session 3 and 4 as good as Neal would have wanted. Love Annemienke and Ed Buurman.

Kathy, Jeff, Meredith and J.T. There are no words to express my deep sorrow about Neal's passing. I so vividly remember his trips to the office with Meredith and J.T. You are in my prayers and he is with God.

Dear Kathy, Jeff, Meredith, JT and the entire Quimby Family, We are completely lost for words which could possibly express our sorrow for you at this time. Please know that all of you, and especially Neal, are in our thoughts and prayers every minute. God Bless all of you and give you strength during this difficult and heart-breaking period. With Love and Sadness, Chip & Tammy
