Rest In Peace, Tonk. My condolences to his family and friends. Please take comfort in the knowledge that, having been called Home, he is now in a better place.

Men cannot always labor nor live forever. Today, one of us answers not our call. Once he lived and labored among us, but now his star has set on this world and he has passed into the light that lies beyond the darkness of the valley of the shadow of death. In vain we call him here. We shall no more hear his voice until we shall have answered, in another world, that same voice that has called him thither.

Let us then, not mourning as those who have no hope, pay the last sad offices of pious duty to the dead; since he, like one who sails slowly away from the shores of a dear land, a little while ago familiar to him, and hears in the stillness of the night the murmur of the waves among its cliffs, may still hear the murmer of our voices, and see, as the angels do, these last rites and evidences of our affections.

Sad news for his family and for us, but not for him:

I will give Matt that hug and he will smile his smile that is so much like his dads. Brian lives on in many ways; Matt too is a gentle soul with a spark. :-)
