To Mr. Tobin's family...I am so sorry to hear about your father. I only knew him for a short time.....he sat at the same table with my mom, Shirley Elias, @ the Gardens. I enjoyed speaking with him and thought he was so nice. I inquired where he was when I was at the Gardens and I just found out today about his passing.

I'm sorry for your loss - I remember Mr. Tobin from Roger Williams. He was my home room teacher and also taught other classes. I especially recall his compassion for students and his enthusiasm for teaching. RIP, Mr. Tobin.
