Thank you so much for posting that picture of Brian at the wall. I was going to post one of the pics from his home page but nothing captures his passion more than that photo and accompanying statement. I think I hear someone telling us “Charlie Mike.”

In his LOVE for CLARITY & JUSTICE while on the Earth...

...Freeper Tonk68-69 was an early, constant, supporter of 9/11 Lifesaver RICK RESCORLA’s being posthumously awarded a 9/11 Medal of Freedom by the President of the United States. For very good reason.

So ...in Your Honor, Tonk:

Very pained to hear this. But knowing that Tonk is carving out some space for other FReepers up there brings some peace of mind.

From the time I started posting on this forum, Tonk was someone whose positive attitude always shone through in his posts. Free Republic has lost a great one.

I’ve been missing the Yatch Man and his posts for some while now.

This is very sad news.
