Condolences & prayers lifted; RIP Tonk and thanks for your honorable service to our nation....

Tonk was more than a candle in the wind....he was a contemporary embodiment of Isaiah’s “burning torch”.

[Calpernia]

That isn’t a candle in the wind. That is a prayer candle.

Thanks, MoJo, I will continue to check for info here.

TANKS and BUMP For TONK...GOD Bless...

[RebelBanker]

May God hold you and your family in His comforting arms in this sad time for you all. We weep not for our dear FRiend Tonk for we know he is in a far better place, we weep for ourselves that we will miss him so much.

May Tonkin receive everything from heaven for all the soldiers he has served on his time on FR. I don't think there's a FReeper who hasn't posted to him.

May you rest peacefully in God's arms, Tonkin.

[CMS]

Another soldier is called home. He will be missed

Prayers for Mr. Tonkin's family. May God comfort them.

Rest in peace friend, we have the watch.

I’m so sad to hear this news. He will be sorely missed, but I’m sure he’s in great company in heaven...

Prayers for all of his family and friends, as well as his FRiends here on FR.

The joy of a life well lived. Thank you, Tonk, for sharing it with us.

[cuky]

Thanks for the post MoJo.

God’s speed to you Tonk and prayers for your family.

[FMBass]

Thank you for your note.

I first encountered Tonk on the Swiftboat site before I moved over here.

Tonk’s comments and life views, both here and there, were always “on the mark”.

I was, and still am, deeply saddened by his passing.

I regret not having ever met him, but somehow know that I have.

MoJo & AMOM -

The angels found Mr.Tonkin's name on the big list. His prayers have been answered. God bless you and all whose prayers went out for him.

[Chieftain]

Tonk definitely lived up to his vow to expose Hanoi John Kerry.

Rest In Peace, Brian.
