I remember Mr. Tonkin from Fairglen Jr. Public School. A kind man with lots of patience for his students. May he rest in peace, and rise in glory

Opened the email from Tam Heather Curling Club just now (May 17). Agincourt has lost another good man. Gord taught my late little brother Rick at George Peck PS. The Tonkins are a great hockey family. Agincourt Lions Hockey League. Andy and Bruce are great players, teachers, and guys. Just like their dad.
