My sincere condolences to the family on the loss of your loved one. I had the honour and pleasure of playing Huff n Puff senior hockey with Toby for 1 year. He was an incredible team mate and was supportive of all those he played with and against. He was truly humble about his abilities and made all of his team mates better because of his unselfishness. Toby will be missed by his many friends at Huff n Puff hockey.

We were deeply saddened to hear the news of Tom's passing. Another member of our Ford family has gone to a better place. Tom was a special breed - an associate that I came to greatly admire through our many years of working together, and a man who was admired and cherished by all who knew him. A great guy and he will be sorely missed. Our deepest condolences to the Black family........

So sorry to hear of the loss of Toby. He was a real gentleman who was very well liked by all who came in contact with him. I have fond memories of spending many years with Scott in our high school years playing hockey for Saunders and Toby was always at the games. Toby could also skate toe to toe with guys a generation younger than him which I'll always remember. I have great comfort knowing that our fathers Toby and Bob spent 50+ years playing hockey together in one form or another right up to 2016. My condolences to the Black family.

Toby: I was so sorry to hear of the loss of your father. I didn't know him personally but I heard many stories over the years from my Dad and Uncle Marc Boulianne. He sounds like a wonderful man and lots of fun. It is hard to loose a parent. I'm sure you will be sitting around telling crazy stories about your Dad. Thinking of you. Louise

Bev and family, I am not surprised to read that Toby was a great family man. He was a great man. He will really be missed by all of his hockey buddies. After many years of chasing him I was really excited to be on the same team this year. We will all remember Toby very fondly, especially his sense of fair play and ever present smile. I know that everyone who knew him will be thinking of his family during your time of loss. Sorry that I will be unable to attend the service. Harold

"Wherever a beautiful soul has been there is a trail of beautiful memories" Whenever I think of my Uncle Tom I remember what a kind, caring man he was. Always quick to smile or make others smile with him... I carry childhood memories of him that I will cherish. To my Aunt Bev and cousins Toby and Scott... i am saddened that he is gone but I know that he loved you all and will be there in your hearts and memories. I offer my condolences to you all.

Tom was a neighbor these past few years - I'm deeply saddened to hear of his passing. I was always struck by how full of life he was - always the picture of activity and a genuinely kind-hearted soul. Just chatting with Tom was enough to lift up your spirits - he was a fantastically positive guy who always made things brighter. I will miss him greatly. My most heart felt condolences to Bev and the rest of the family. John
