Anyone who was fortunate enough to know this gentle and kind man experienced how very special he was.

“Uncle Tonk” never failed to pray for Logan and stand by us thru some scary and dark hours for our family.

We were blessed to have been able to call him our friend.

In loving memory.....

“TT”, Beth & Nana

Good evening, Dave...I was hoping you’d share your visit. He often spoke of the joy of meeting other FReepers.

Thank you.

Tonk shared our joy when another Logan came into the world, our grandson.

I'm sure Brian would be pleased to hear his gentle voice honoring our Flag. Hope this link works for a video...

Thanks Kathy. We just got home and when I logged on to FR and saw what you created, I knew I just had to post that picture. It was great to spend some time with Brian.

Oh, and check out #227. Things like this make a grown man cry.

One more picture from our meeting... I cropped myself out of the picture so as to present Brian alone for his tribute.

Gidday Kathy

What a great thread!

I still stay in close touch with Tonk’s son, who is a fellow Guardian Angel.

I make windchimes as a hobby and created a color scheme of Stars and Stripes as a reminder that as long as there are Patriots like Tonk, The Ring of Liberty and Freedom will forever be heard across this great land.

Last month, a dinner was held up the road from us honoring Gold Star Families. I made 14 sets to be presented to those families. To those families, the guy who made them is known only as "A Grateful Navy Vet".
