I can't believe it has been two years. Tonk was a great guy, always a gentleman. I do miss him, and think of him often.

If you please Kathy, say a prayer as well for my Uncle Phil, a WWII vet, 89 years strong. He lost his wife, my Aunt, a few weeks ago. They were married for 60 years.

Maybe Tonk can show her around up there for me. :)

I didn’t ‘know’ Tonk as many of you did, but I just loved reading his posts. He became one of my favorite FReepers, and I was so sad in his passing. His contributions to this site and to our country were outstanding.

I second that.

What can the military FReepers tell me about the Marines???

I think that’s the first time I’ve ever seen those “younger” pictures of Tonk.

I miss him too.
