Goodbye for now to a friend, "older brother in arms", mentor, and respected sage. Tonk welcomed me into FR years ago and always provided wit, knowledge, humor, and compassion. Until we meet in the great beyond Tonk.

I rarely post, but had to say good bye to someone who was so kind and such a support to those of us with loved ones serving both on the homefront and in the sandbox. Thank you for YOUR service and God speed Tonk!

Red sky at his face and warm breezes at his back. Peace and comfort to all Tonk left behind.

He’s missed and remembered by his FRiends.

Thanks MoJo (& Drummie) - not the sort of news one wants to bear to others.

A final salute my friend, and wishes for calmer waters.

With heartfelt prayers for the surviving loved ones...we'll take up the slack and maintain a steady strain, Tonk. Godspeed.
