I've kept my candle ^ going, and will always remember Brian's kindness and generosity in his interactions here at FR. Lord, bless his family and grant them peace.
I just saw that Brian had passed when I was looking at someone’s tagline. I’m deeply saddened. He was an absolute fixture here from the early days. Even though I rarely visit, and even more rarely post here, I will miss him being there. I had just recently, like three nights ago, noticed that kattracks had passed too. So many missing Freepers home with their maker too early for our tastes. Godspeed Tonkin.
