Tonk was a champion, better than all of us in this FR world. His spirit remains as an inspiration to all of us. He goes with God.
RIP Tonk. Godspeed.
Tonk, we will miss you, as we have missed you the past several months. You were such a wonderful presence here on Free Republic. God bless you and your family.
Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
Sad news. Rest in Peace Tonk, you will be missed. Watch over us from up there, won’t you?
Prayers for the repose of his soul and condolences to the family....
Farewell and fair seas in heaven to you, Tonk. You will never be forgotten!
You’ve earned your rest, Tonkin.
Thank you for allowing us to share some of your life.
Tonk was a true example of selflessness, patriotism, and loyalty.
The world has surely suffered a great loss.
My deepest sympathies to his family.
God gave us a good man, and has him back again. We ask for comfort for his family, knowing that God’s smile conceals a loving secret for us all.
Amen....
He was an American original...a true patriot....and
the kindest man to everyone...except to John Kerry!
A true warrior for “Good”
So sad. Prayers for he and his family.
RIP. Prayers up.
God rest his soul.
The thread title is moving, MoJo. The first thing I "heard" when I saw it was the melancholy whistle.
