My sincere and deepest condolences to Johnny, Elaine and the entire Reyna family. I had the pleasure of working with Toby and was introduced to him by my father Louis M. Barrientes. My dad and Toby's dad were child hood friends. Toby was a wonderful person to work with and had a great sense of humor. God's blessings and the Holy Spirit guide you through this loss and time of sorrow.

Dear Toby, you were an inspiration for me at a very young age and it was with your help that I became the musician that I am. I was proud of your accomplishments and glad to be able to call you a friend. I´m going to miss while I´m here and forward to seeing you again. Love, P.
