Good evening, Mac...*HUGS*...hope you’ve had a restful weekend and are ready to take on the new week.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, al baby...I miss him as well.

His fingers would be typed out with the goings on in our America.

Tonk’s last tour of duty was at the same station I started out in the Coast Guard. We were shipmates.

One of the best.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, ConservativeMInd...he sure did.

[BykrBayb]

I never had the pleasure of meeting Brian in person, but I did get to know him through his posts here. He was one of the kindest souls I’ve ever known.

[Tijeras_Slim]

RIP Brian

[Kathy in Alaska]

He was one of the good guys and posting from day one of the Canteen.

He was passionate about our military men and women.

[eyedigress]

I always had fun looking at his screen name. We had a yacht club in Gila Bend as well.

Rest in Peace Brian.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Welcome, Ben Hecks...hard to believe he’s been gone for 9 years.

He would be so distressed about politics today.

[fatima]

God bless Him,still miss Him.

[sockmonkey]

He is still greatly missed, and fondly remembered.
The thoughts of such beloved FReepers who have left us behind is felt in my heart every day.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Welcome to the Canteen, easternsky.

He wanted everyone to be proud of our military, past and present.

[Kathy in Alaska]

You sure did. Thanks, doug, for stopping in to help us remember.

[ConorMacNessa]

I had the honor and pleasure of chatting with Tonk when I first mustered in on the Canteen. I am so happy to have had the chance to meet him, even if only on line.

"I am an American fighting man. I serve in the forces guarding our country and our way of life.
I am prepared to give my life in their defense."

[DLfromthedesert]

We lost him way too soon. 😥

[ContraryMary]

Thanks for the memories. Tonk was truly one for the ages.
