An afternoon memorial to celebrate Toby's life and share memories.
Aunt Rachel made incredible photo collages that spanned everything from childhood, to the Peace Corps, to Chocorua and beyond.
Friends all gathered.
In Taisie's backyard.
Including the kids section.
Mother and Son.
The beginning of shared memories began with Taisie from their first meeting thru the journey of their shared 51 years of marriage.
Aunt Rachel, who remembered walks in Chocorua and his brilliant mind.
Sam, who spoke of Toby's pattern recognition and how that influenced the life of his children.
Maddie, who compared her Grandfather to a super hero with his ability to catch a straw sleeve out of mid air.
The family, who listened nearby.
Great Aunt Linda, who spoke of his mathematical mind and mischievous streak.
Family friend, Suzanne, who spoke of their friendship that began in Peace Corps and lasted from coast to coast.
Family friend, Carl Feinstein, who spoke of the many happy times their paths intersected.
Taisie's best friend, Lea Feinstein, who spoke of how they challenged and loved each other.
And a cake made by Marissa, featuring Toby's hat, bowline knot, canoe and Chocorua.
