Posted on 06/12/2007 7:18:59 PM PDT by MoJo2001

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.

Pinging the FR Vietnam Veterans and Family Members with sad news.

For myself, I will not forget Mr. Tonkin's nightly greeting: "Good Evening Ladies, from the Men of the Canteen" accompanied by kittens in snow globes and warm, cozy fireplace scenes.

After so many greetings, it's hard to say Good-bye, but you have gone and so my prayers go with you, and my heartfelt sympathy to your family and friends.

I VOW to the 58,000 + Brothers and Sisters on The Viet Nam Wall who never came home and to those who died at home from injuries and from broken hearts. I will do everything I LEGALLY can to expose Hanoi Kerry once and for all. I will not tire, I will not falter, and I will not fail. I solemnly vow to do all I can to restore your honor until I give my last breath on earth. 68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub

Rest well, my FRiend, for you have completed your service. You did a hell of a job!
