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.

My condolences to his family and FRiends. His presence on this board made it better. We can all try to emulate that example.

I’m so sorry to hear of Mr. Tonkin’s death, but “The strife is o’er, the battle won,” and I know he was on the right side.

God bless his family and friends and FRiends!

I will miss him. He pinged me to many an important thread and was as nice a FReeper as ever could be.

Thanks for the news.

Tonk you were a devoted and fierce patriot.

I will miss the banter.

God Bless you my friend, and God Speed you on your way to Heaven.

You're in my prayers.

Rest in peace.

Tonk's first post to me was: "Welcome home brother."

The first person, other than family, to ever say that to me since my return from Vietnam in 1970.
