RIP Tonk. I met him back when he was still “Yatch” Club on the old Canteen. I liked his homepage-”yeah, yeah, yeah, I spelled it wrong”.

You are in my thoughts and prayers.
I had the opportunity to speak to Tonk a few times in Freepmail to thank him for his service to our Country.
He was a wonderful human being and a great person. He will be missed by so many who he touched here and in person.
Good bye, Tonk.
Rest in Peace, American Hero!!
OOPS I wanted to attach this....sorry.
I know he would have liked it.
To: MoJo2001
Tonk, you will be missed. Thank you for all you did here, and rest easy with God.

My prayers for eternal rest in God's loving arms go with Tonk. My prayers for peace are with his family.

I never really got to converse much with Mr. Tonkin, but his reputation on FR cannot be overstated. He will be greatly missed.
Prayers for his family and all those who loved him. We shall all be together again someday.

Here's the best salute I can give you, old salt. It's the 5inch gun on your Destroyer in the Tonkin Gulf. Fair winds and following seas.
