This reminds me of just how much time has gone by since I was very active at FR. I had no idea that Brian was ill. Now I hear that he has gone to be with the Father and I didn't even get to say so long. It seems that all the good ones are passing over.
This is the way I will always remember Tonk.
Oct 3 marks my 5th "Anniversary" in the Coast Guard Auxiliary I have reported for "duty" to Coast Guard Motor Lifeboat Station Coos Bay OR at least one day, every single week, often times more, since Oct 3 2001 To: hedgetrimmer I just wanted to let you know I met with the Flotilla Commander today and it turns out that I have a few skills that they need and can utilize. I'm just glad that this old rusty tin can sailor can help protect our country again. 44 posted on 10/03/2001 3:21:13 PM PDT by 68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub
God welcome you home good FRiend, and say hello to LadyX for me. May our family be comforted by their good memories.
Lord please bring peace to those left behind. In Jesus' holy name. Amen.

I'm so very saddened to hear of Tonk's death. I have always enjoyed reading his posts; he was such a patriot. He was so proud to be able to serve this country after 9/11.
I was thinking about him the other day, when I realized I hadn't seen any posts of his lately. I'm sure he's in God's loving arms this night, and I'll pray for the repose of his soul, and peace for his family.
FR has lost a great one.

WE beseech Thee, O Lord, according to Thy loving-kindness, have mercy upon the soul of Thy servant Brian, and now that he is set free from the defilements of this mortal flesh, restore him to his heritage of everlasting salvation. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Fair winds and calm seas my friend. It’s our turn to stand watch, and your turn for some well deserved liberty in the company of fellow warriors and our most blessed Saviour, Jesus Christ.
Rest in peace, our prayers are with you and with your family and friends.

He was a shining example of what it means to be an American patriot.
I always felt uplifted reading his posts. It won’t be the same here without him.
