I'll always love Uncle Toby. His sense of humor was hilarious but he was also so loving and sincere. I remember so many family get togethers where he'd always be the master of the barbecue. We have a home movie where he was showing us his rock collection from the surrounding area, and I just love how he always had something interesting to share with us. I'm extremely fortunate to say that two of our kids, Stephen and Silas, got to meet him, walk around the house he renovated, and marvel at his wildflower gardens in the backyard. I'm reminded of his laugh and the feeling of his hugs every time I look at the wood carving he made and gave to us during our latest visit. Toby will forever hold a special place in my heart, that's for sure. Love you very much Uncle Toby.
