Upon hearing of Toby’s sudden passing I was both shocked and saddened but it wasn’t long before a smile crept over my face it’s hard to think about Toby and not smile. Such great guy and friend. The onLy thing bigger than his smile and laugh was his heart. He certainly is gone too soon but the many memories he left us will last forever.
Deepest condolences to Karen, Adam and the many friends and family that will miss him deeply. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Favorite Toby Bell memory: A Friday night drive up to some state park with our boys for a scouting weekend; setting up the tents in the pouring rain and then solving the worlds problem's with laughter and a bottle of cabernet while the kids ran around doing boy-scouty things. It's a VERY old memory but one I'll have forever. Thanks for being a gentleman and good with a tent peg!

Dear Karen and Adam, Lynne and I were stunned and saddened to hear about Toby. He was truly one of a kind, a very special friend! We will always remember our Friday morning breakfasts at the Parkland dinner - it was always interesting conversations. I will always remember Toby sitting the the mens locker after spin class eating his fruit snack. It’s hard to believe he is no longer with us. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

Dear Karen and Adam,
I am deeply saddened to see Toby has passed. He was a bank buddy of ours at Meridian Bank @ Cedar Crest as were you and Adam. Good man, and a funny guy, always had us laughing on the teller line. One of the most personable gentlemen I have ever met. Too young. Karen, my heart hurts for you and Adam. Toby loved you both so much. God bless. He will be watching over you both.
