The FReeper Canteen Crew sadly announces the passing of Mr. Tonkin. (68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub).

If you would like to leave a message for his family, please direct them to amom.

Also, we ask that you send prayers to amom, his son Matthew, family, and friends.

We love you, Mr. Tonkin. Say 'hello' to Texas Cowboy for all of us.

You're missed and will never be forgotten.

 

We hope to make this an online memorial book for his family.

Here's to Tonk: May he have made it to heaven a half an hour before the devil learned of his death.

Semper Paratus, Tonk

Deepest Regards

Goodbye Tonk my good FRiend!

Nothing but fair winds and following seas for you now. We will miss you!

We pray for God's comforting hand on your family members who must continue life's struggle without your strong hand to help.

Does the Oregon Coast Guard know yet?

There was a memorial message up on the Flotilla 51 Web page so I am sure they know.
