It is with great sadness that I present this news. Last night, I found out that Toby ([livejournal.com profile] gldm) passed away. I wasn't told any details; just that he passed. He was only 34.

This morning I was linked to an entry written by [livejournal.com profile] kilroyfirelizrd that explains Toby's passing. You can read it here. And like [livejournal.com profile] kilroyfirelizrd said, I'm just glad he went without suffering.

I'm too distraught for words. I met him through [livejournal.com profile] kathrishali many, many years ago. And then through a twist of It's a Small World, no really, it is, I found out that he went to school with [livejournal.com profile] jcholewa. Worlds collided that day.

I think the last time I saw Toby in person was when I was still attending Stony Brook & he and his husband came to visit me. That was in 2005. The last time I spoke to him was this past October.

It's getting really hard for me to type because I cannot see through the tears in my eyes...

Rest in Peace, Toby. August 4th, 1976 - March 15th, 2011.

You were one of the good ones.

::Huggles:: I was hoping too. We had actually made plans to get together when the weather got warmer D:
