My Brother William Andrew Tompkins "Russell" passed away on Thursday, June 18th, in Reno, Nevada, leaving his life partner Mary Tompkins, family, and friends behind. Whether in the streets of Brooklyn, New York, James Island, South Carolina, Tucson, Arizona, San Diego or Los Angeles, California, William impacted and connected many people from around the world. My brother loved music, movies, and his children (his dogs and birds). If you knew my brother, you know, he always pushed the sentiment to enjoy life to the fullest and would want us to celebrate his life and especially in trying times.
