I remember Toby as "AFROTC Cadet Lt. Col" during our formative days at Clemson. It was always a pleasure to be around such caring and kind human beings as Toby was right there at the top! Toby served his country with honor and distinction during the tumultuous times of the Vietnam era and I am positive that he exemplified the hallowed words "Duty-Honor-Country." May God's merciful hand guide each family member as they lovingly remember the sterling legacy of this Clemson man who epitomized "A Clemson Man Needs No Introduction." Earl Hansford Grubbs, CU 67 and Retired Army Officer
