Gary A. Tobin

To all of the Tobin family:
You have my deepest sympathies. Gary was like a brother to me growing up, and we shared a special bond. I'm so pleased we exchanged e-mails late last year after I came upon his book In Every Tongue. Hopefully the wonderful memories we all share from knowing Gary will sustain us through this difficult time.
All our love,
Randy and Joan Covitz

Deepest sympathies. Gary was a teacher, mentor, colleague and friend whose passion and commitment to Jewish life and community guided us all.
