Robert Morgan Tonge

The York Golf & Tennis Club has lost one of its most passionate fans. Robert Morgan Tonge, Sr, 98, passed away peacefully in Ft Lauderdale on February 7, 2023. Bob was a summer resident of York Harbor for over 60 years. For most of that time there were few happier moments than those he spent on Court 2 at the Club. Much of that time was shared with his wife Muriel and his three sons. Even after he began losing his eyesight later in life, he was still out there swinging away in that wonderful, warm summer air, confident that ball was out there somewhere, and hoping for the best. In the last years of his life, he had lost both the strength in his legs and his beloved wife of over 60 years. He spent much of those later years in the window of his home on the York River, reconnected with his high school sweetheart and dreaming of Court 2. He leaves behind three sons and a genealogically complex clan of grandchildren and great grandchildren.
