Russell Alan Toronto

I love Dr. Toronto and will be so happy to see him again. He was a wonderful sports doc and yet he was willing to help an older woman get the best out of herself. I will always adore him and never forget the hug I received whenever he saw me. What a wonderful man! Wherever he is, is where I want to be!

Today I was talking to Mike Lamoreaux and he said that he knew Steve Toronto in the mission field. I told him that I knew the whole Toronto family. As we talked he told me that Russ had passed away and I couldn´t believe it . Russ is a year and a half younger than me and I thought how could that be. Anyway, I wanted to express my sincere condolences to the entire family. I have great memories of Russ from growing up in the same ward and interacting in Priesthood, sports and scouting. He is a...

I have talked about Dr. Toronto for 40 years! I worked at Alta View Hospital in the business office and Dr. Toronto was an ER doctor at the time. My daughter was 18 months old and she got a 105 fever. I could have taken her down the street to St. Mark's Hospital but I knew Dr. Toronto was working that day so I rushed her to the ER at Alta View.

He was THE BEST doctor I have ever had. Over the period of 30 years he treated me for so many things I can't remember them all. He also treated my sons for their various sports injuries. We all miss him tremendously. He is a legend.

I am so sad and sorry to hear of Dr. Toronto's death. He told me about his heart condition, since he had been unable to see me when his stent was put in. But it's hard to believe he died so young when he seemed in such great shape. Dr. Toronto was a wonderful doctor. He was never stumped when asked a question. He took the greatest pains to answer anything I asked. He was patient and compassionate, and a loving friend as well as wonderful professional. I will miss him and knowing that he is...

I will always love you Dr. Toronto for your patient service and keeping my knees working so I could teach for so many years before they needed replacements. Visiting you in your office always brightened my day, your smile made every hurt worth it!

I worked at Holy Cross Hospital with "fluffy" when he was a resident. We all loved him, a few crushes on him for sure. So sad to lose a great guy!

Dr. Russ is still my hero doctor! Celia Alston Cutler

He was one of the best doctors I ever had. He made you feel welcome and special anytime I had to see him for a problem.
