“There are good ships,
and there are wood ships,
The ships that sail the sea.
But the best ships, are friendships,
And may they always be.”

Rest well my friend at the right hand of Our Father.

[adaven]

Oh no!! He was a funny, good guy and I looked forward to reading his posts.

Rest in peace my friend. :(

Another brave patriot enters the mansions of the Lord. Rest easy, friend. God Bless

Tonk was a terrific—and prolific—FReeper. May he rest in peace. G*d bless his family and loved ones!

My condolences.

Sorry for you loss. The family will be in my prayers.

I interacted with 68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub on several occasions. I always enjoyed our discussions and his posts.

[RaceBannon]

Gonna miss you, Brian!

[doorgunner69]

You left us way too soon Brian, it should not be our groups time yet, but we do not have a say in that, God does.

I am a relative newcomer to FR, but I quickly recognized the fire in Tonk with his relentless exposure of J F'n Kerry.

[Kathy in Alaska]

He was so proud of his work with the Coast Guard Auxiliary. He was one of those who tried to join up after 9/11, but as with many, was turned down due to age. He was steered to the Coast Guard Auxiliary and joined right away. He started doing data entry, but was asked to study and pass the tests to be able to stand a radio watch. This he did and was so proud to be of service to his beloved country.

Then he was asked to study and become a vessel examiner. This too he did gladly and served with great pride.
