Not sure what to say?

Mr. Tobin taught my husband and me American History 1969-1970 in Glenwood Springs. He really sparked our interest in the subject and made history fun and ALWAYS had such a positive attitude. He was a gem... may he Rest In Peace.

I had the honor of knowing Mr.Tobin as a student and a parent of a student. He was a great teacher and person who I know will be greatly missed by all. RIP Mr.Tobin

Mr. Tobin will be well remembered. I will never forget the Alistair Cook films we endured. The fluorescent orange full size toilet seat as a bathroom hall pass cured most of us from needing to use the restroom. I will never forget some if the shenanigans between teachers/students etc. Mr. Tobin taught me to enjoy learning and to have fun. Our class trip to Mesa Verde was one of my favorite memories. Mr. Tobin made a difference in my life and many others. My heartfelt condolences to his...

I was so sorry to hear of Mr. Tobin's passing. Mr. Tobin was a fantastic teacher. I learned a great deal in his history class. Although it has been 30-ish years since I sat in his classroom, I will never forget his "What you see is what you get" quizzes after a particularly boring educational film. I am forever checking the time on the clock or how many buttons someone has on their jacket, just in case there is a pop quiz. My thoughts and prayers are with his family. Rest in peace Mr....

Mr. Terry Tobin will always be a favorite teacher. The shenanigans he roped me into fueled my love for learning, teaching and sharing. Nothing will come close to the Alistair Cook films he tortured us with almost daily! Somehow he knew we would retain the information. The famous hunter orange toilet seat as a hall pass will also be a fond memory. One of my very favorite adventures was the school trip we took down to Mesa Verde. My love for that part of Colorado and for the people who have...

Sandy, So sorry to read about Terry's passing. I guess one could best sum him up as a "character." always enjoyed visits with him. He inevitably had an interesting anecdote if not commentary on a variety of topics or experiences. His wry wit, poignant observations, and generosity will be missed.

I absolutely loved Mr. Tobin. He fed my love for history and challenged my mind every day. He had a way of making you feel important at a time when the world makes kids feel like they don't matter. I was so happy as an adult each time I ran into him in a store and got to share him with my own children. Thank you to his family for sharing him with us. He made a difference, and he will be missed. I am so very sorry for your loss.
