Toby Grant

1950 - 2010

To Toby Grant - An oracle in your time.

You believed in the present moment and enlightenment of all humanity. You provided for all with kindness, unbounded generosity and deep respect.

You walked peacefully in the natural beauty of the place you honored and adored, with your partner in life, Deb and your Dog.

From Connecticut Yankee roots, you journeyed abroad and then inward into Zen monasteries and music. You studied the healing arts, history, linguistics, law and politics at your beloved alma mater, Evergreen and constantly thru our lives with you.

For years you worked out the symbol/concept language, Kolingo, to enable all peoples of the world to communicate together.

A powerful man, you bicycled across the continent for world peace, and your feisty spirit fought on for justice all your life and helped any that you could, with money, words and action.

You were the constant hard-working caretaker of your houses- the homes of many, culminating with the old Odd Fellows Lodge in Oakridge, Rebecca Hall, your last love and creation, which shows well your beautiful work there.

You were a poet and minstrel, who could play any instrument, and fill a space with your rich healing intertwining harmonics and rhythms.

All who know you, proclaim you Toby as a man of your word, filled with so much love for others which daily you put into action.

You are missed so very dearly by us, your friends and family. May you walk in the natural beauty of the surrounding trees and rivers in Oakridge. We love you forever Toby.
