Fr. Tobin was a wonderful and gentle man of God. His service to the Church is truly an example of great love and personal sacrifice.

He showed great compassion and gentleness unless he was playing ping pong at which he showed no mercy! He will be missed by all who knew him.

I have such wonderful memories of our time together at Our Lady of Victory in Centerville, MA. "Chief" was a great mentor in everything but especially in pastoral compassion and sensitivity. He had a great laugh and all of us in that house enjoyed being together and serving God's people with exuberance and love. I will miss him, actually have missed him these past few years, but know that he is where he always wanted to be, in his Father's house. Thanks Chief and pray for us.
