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.
Details will be provided later regarding funeral services.
Thank you so much for posting that picture of Brian at the wall. I was going to post one of the pics from his home page but nothing captures his passion more than that photo and accompanying statement. I think I hear someone telling us “Charlie Mike.”
Now he is at peace.
.
In his LOVE for CLARITY & JUSTICE while on the Earth...
...Freeper Tonk68-69 was an early, constant, supporter of 9/11 Lifesaver RICK RESCORLA’s being posthumously awarded a 9/11 Medal of Freedom by the President of the United States. For very good reason.
So ...in Your Honor, Tonk:

What an inspiration! Nice graphic by Mia T, too.
How sad. I have been missing him for months, but always with the hope that he would return to his FRiends.
RIP, Tonkin, RIP.
From the time I started posting on this forum, Tonk was someone whose positive attitude always shone through in his posts. Free Republic has lost a great one.
Good speed Tonk, heaven just got another one.
I’m so sorry. He was a patriot and good man. Prayers for his family and loved ones.
Rest in peace Dear Brother.
God bless.
Best of the best.Bye Beautiful.
You’ll be missed Tonk - God speed to you.
Wishing you smooth seas and a following breeze, Tonk.
Sail in peace, brother.
Others will carry on the fight.
