RIP, Tonk. Fair winds and following seas.

[The KG9 Kid]

Oh gosh no. Sure loved Tonkin. He was always really good to me going back years.

It sure is sad when we lose someone from FR, particularly people that I had a kinship with. I wish I had spent more time with them and knew them better. Just rotten news.

Tonkin was one of the very best of the old timers. Blesses and best wishes to his family.

[Norman Bates]

RIP, Mr. Tonkin. I always enjoyed reading what you had to say.

May the Lord Bless and Keep the family.

Thank you for your service to our country Tonk.

Eternal Father


Eternal Father, strong to save,
Whose arm hath bound the restless wave,
Who biddest the mighty ocean deep
Its own appointed limits keep;
Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee,
For those in peril on the sea!

O Christ! Whose voice the waters heard
And hushed their raging at Thy Word,
Who walked on the foaming deep,
And calm amidst its rage didst sleep;
Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee,
For those in peril on the sea!

Most Holy Spirit! Who didst brood
Upon the chaos dark and rude,
And bid its angry tumult cease,
And give, for wild confusion, peace;
Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee,
For those in peril on the sea!

O Trinity of love and power!
Our family shield in danger’s hour;
From rock and tempest, fire and foe,
Protect us wheresoever we go;
Thus evermore shall rise to Thee
Glad hymns of praise from land and sea.

Jhn 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Rest now Tonk you are in the arms of the Lord.

MoJo,

Thank you for accepting this sad duty and giving us the privilege of paying respects to someone who inspired many, if not all, of us. 68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub will certainly be missed by those of us who were held up by his strength when ours was failing. I will certainly miss him.

Ah, I am so sad to hear this. God rest his soul. Tonkin once posted a graphic with falling snow and I had never seen it in a gif before. He gladly shared it with me. Prayers for his family.

[Christian4Bush]

Ditto to Post 8.

“All ahead full, aye.”

[Petronski]

May God Himself rest his eternal soul and welcome him into Heaven, and may his family and friends find peace and consolation in God’s company.

[PA Engineer]

A very sad goodbye. RIP Tonk and prayers for your family.

[Ladysmith]

Another FReeper Home with God. May there be a special room within His Kingdom where they (and eventually all of us) meet each other.

RIP, Mr. Tonk...

[mcshot]

Thank you for your many contributions Sir and you’ve already been missed but I didn’t know why. May God Bless you and your family and provide them with peace and comfort.
Damn I’m no good at this but another FRiend is awaiting us on the other side.

[Grizzled Bear]

Prayers up for the family. May your grief be lightened by sweet memories and anticipation of reunion.

God bless you,

I VOW to the 58,000 + Brothers and Sisters on The Viet Nam Wall who never came home and to those who died at home from injuries and from broken hearts. I will do everything I LEGALLY can to expose Hanoi Kerry once and for all. I will not tire, I will not falter, and I will not fail. I solemnly vow to do all I can to restore your honor until I give my last breath on earth. 68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub
