Ray Tomkins, shown here at the Toomsboro School Reunion in 2002, graduated from Toomsboro High School where he played basketball - and attended Brewton Parker College and Tennessee Temple. Ray and his wife, Marlene Lord Tomkins cared deeply for the Toomsboro community, and they were the driving force in organizing the Toomsboro School Reunions - which have served to keep the spirit of Toomsboro and its beloved school alive. Ray, a well-known minister in middle and south Georgia, was one of the preachers at the funeral of my Uncle Reginald Freeman in 1997. It was fitting that Ray's funeral should be held at the Ebenezer Baptist Church near Toomsboro, the church where he was ordained to the ministry. My good wishes go out to all of Ray's family. Ray will be missed and remembered, not just as a good husband, father, and minister, but as a good person.
