Hilda Robert, grandfather Alcide Levron, and great grandparents Elie and
Emelie Naquin. Together in Heaven they are reunited and await the rest of us
there. From early on, Toby took meticulous control of his health care issues
with one goal: to be there for his family. He was the glue that held us all
together. He lived for his nieces and nephews, storing up his energy like
diamonds that he spent on them generously. He unselfishly taught us all how
to fight for those you love, how to find or inject humor in any situation,
and how to bring joy to others. He set the bar high and showed us how to
reach for the stars. As a founder and long-time administrator of the popular
Justice Quest website, he provided a forum for hundreds of people across the
world to share their interests and advocate for those causes. His family was
made up of not only those related to him, but also those who came to know
and love him through Justice Quest, through more than 20 years of dialysis,
and through neighborhood gatherings. Special thanks to all those who played
a supporting role in his health care battles over the past 40 years,
