He invested years into the partnership at Central Canadian Structures and enjoyed the cottage development at Shoal Lake. Selling commercial property and helping individuals transition to senior housing brought him joy. Toby treated every aspect of life as an adventure. He did youth ministry at Camp Arnes, told “Uncle Toby” stories with Gospel Light Hour, and led canoe trips for Boys Brigade. He took his family on car trips across Canada and the U.S. Toby loved to hunt and fish.
