All Members Must Read This- Tone

[geshaw30]

We are all taught early in life that “to every thing there is a season” and such a time has come to pass for a brother of ours.


Tony Monday (Tone) has passed away


It’s too early to tell yet exactly what happened but early reports are Tone quietly went to a better place sometime during the night on the 14th. I ask you to remember all those who are hurting during this time and offer a prayer for their continued strength. Additional information will be forthcoming and posted here.

To Jay and Julian- Thanks for contacting me and providing updates. Good friends indeed

Lisa-in my line of work I have often found that bad things happen to good people but in the end it makes them stronger. This is one of those instances. Cary and I offer our condolences.

To all the members of this forum, especially those of us who have been here from the beginning, I offer you this post to jot down a memory, pass on a kind word, or simply review the words of others whose lives Tone has touched over the years.

And finally, to my lost friend,….Rest In Peace

Sorry to hear about Tone. He contributed much to this group over the years and he's actually responsible for many members finding this site and group. Although he hasn't been an active member over the last few years I'm sure his insights helped many here, either directly or indirectly.

RIP

-- John

Wow - just got an email from his sister letting me know the news. Apparently she's working her way back through his email to let all his customers know about his passing.

So surreal to think I was trading emails with him three days ago on step bars.

RIP

WOW. I am speechless and emotions are on a roller coaster at the moment.


My thoughts are with lisa and the rest of Tone's friends and family.

[VehiGAZ]

That's really too bad. His website is still open for business -s omeone nearer the family should see if it could be shut down or post a message or something.

I regret to say that I've been a quiet member of this forum, but go as far back as the club.vmag.com days where this forum originally came from. I am totally shocked to hear that guru himself has passed. My condolences go out to Tone and his family, may he rest in peace.

This is horrible, I don’t know what to say. He was one of the first VXers I ever talked to. I can’t believe he’s gone. I can’t imagine what his family is going through right now. He was a very good man and will be missed. If there’s anything we can do don’t hesitate to ask.

My thoughts and prayers are with his family.
He was such a great help to me and others on this site.
He will be missed.

Wow, this is horrible news. My thoughts go out to Lisa, and everyone else that was really close to him.
