Throughout his life, Toby enjoyed traveling, fun summer vacations and being with his family. He will always be remembered by his daughter and granddaughter Jes for the lifetime of corny jokes and stories of his childhood when movies cost 50 cents.

He also enjoyed fishing for Striped Bass and Bluefish at Meigs Point, Hammonasset Beach State Park, and Harkness Memorial State Parks, and on the Myjoy. More than anything, both Toby and Loretta loved and lived for their Cocker Spaniels, which brought them so much joy and happiness throughout their years together.
