With daughters Helga, Shiloh, NJ and Kersti (Jamie Jordan), Halifax/Ingonish, at her side, Wanda left us with a lifetime of memories, adventures and books to read, cherish and enjoy.

A chemist by profession (MSc Jagiellonian University) and humanist at heart, Wanda overcame many struggles in her journey which began in Kraków, Poland and ended in Halifax. She was a proud Canadian committed to her Polish heritage and passed this love and passion on to daughter Kersti. Working in labs and classrooms ranging from the Children’s Hospital, Fisheries & Oceans Canada, Nova Scotia Institute of Technology and the National Research Council, Wanda finished her career at Dalhousie University, upon which she undertook studies in languages and literature. As owner of the Driftwood Lodge, Ingonish, since 1973 with late mother Zuzanna (Susan) Kulig and daughter, Kersti, she welcomed her guests with a smile and delighted in their stories. Throughout her life, Wanda was passionate about music, theatre, dance, art, literature, education, travel, science and humour and collected a diverse library of books, which were her greatest pride and joy after her family.

For many years he worked as a partner in a surgical team with his brother-in-law and friend, the late Dr. J.O. Mc Neil - Dr. J.O. was the surgeon and Dr. J.B. the anaesthetist. Dr. J.B's service to the mining community in Cape Breton made him a uniquely respected physician.

O'Brien, President of the Cape Breton Medical Society noted "no matter what the hour, he is instantly available to his colleagues, always tending his advice in a positive and non-critical manner. His devotion remains a role model for practitioners. His patients are privileged by his services and his colleagues are honored to be associated with him". In the year 1990 the Dominion Italian Community held a Night of Recognition for Doctor Tompkins "generosity and service to the people". In 1992 the Town of Dominion thanked the physician by hosting "An Evening with Dr. J.B.".

A connection link of Old Sydney with the New was severed today in the death of Frederick B. Townsend, which occurred at his residence, 39 Douglas Place at an early hour this morning. Although not enjoying the best of health for the past year or more, his passing was quite unexpected and to a host of friends here and in various other parts of Cape Breton the news of his demise will come as a distinct shock and will be deeply regretted. A descendent of one of Sydney's oldest families, he earned by virtue of a gracious personality and kind and charitable disposition, the esteem and respect of everyone with whom he came in contact. He was a son of the late Captain Thomas Townsend, and was the last surviving member of a family of 12. In the early days of Sydney the Townsend name was syonomous with wooden ships and iron men, five of the sons having followed in the footsteps of their father and manned some of the finest crafts that ever sailed the seven seas. Fred B as he was more familiarity known as among the older residents of Sydney did not engage in the occupation of seafaring, but took up an important branch of this profession, namely cable operating. remaining in this field until superannuated a number of years ago, discharging the duties in a manner that won him highest recognition and commendation from his superiors. He learned the business in Sydney with the French Atlantic Cable Company, and was afterwards transferred to this branch office in St. Pierre, Miquelon, and after almost eight years of service there was assigned to office in Cape Cod, Orleans, Mass where he remained until placed on pension.
