Ron’s Restaurant is just a small family resturant and it would be helpful for folks to let you know if they plan to meet there after the service.

LOL!!!! Thanks. That’s the best looking WooHoo I have gotten in a long time!

We take time out for a special effort today and bend our knees in prayer for Brian, his family and his friends.

May GOD bless Brian richly as Brian blessed us with his life. May GOD comfort Brian’s loved ones and friends. Let the loss in their hearts be replaced with the warmth of GOD’s lasting Peace. Amen.

We are at your side throughout this day.

Thanks, NVA.

I've kept my candle ^ going, and will always remember Brian's kindness and generosity in his interactions here at FR. Lord, bless his family and grant them peace.

I just saw that Brian had passed when I was looking at someone’s tagline. I’m deeply saddened. He was an absolute fixture here from the early days. Even though I rarely visit, and even more rarely post here, I will miss him being there. I had just recently, like three nights ago, noticed that kattracks had passed too. So many missing Freepers home with their maker too early for our tastes. Godspeed Tonkin.

standing by!

the candles are for Tonk's family. at this instant, he is PERFECT & needs nothing that this HIGHLY imperfect FRiend can do/say.

he is in the sheltering arms of the ETERNAL JESUS, Praise God.

Ah, Tonk, what a virtual send-off you had. I was proud to ride along.

Hey, I just realized, you have now read the entire one-eight-oh, haven't you! We are counting on you for guidance should the need to stand up against him arise.

fyi, as i said i would, i snuffed out the candles at sundown PT.

"Tonk", the FRiend i never met is WITH Jesus, the Eternal Saviour, as i pen these lines.

our condolences to all of the members of his earthly family. they remain in our prayers.

Don’t know how I didn’t see this six months ago but I thought I’d pay my respects. RIP. You’re missed here at FR.
