Obituaries

To the Tobin family, I am sorry for your loss. I worked with your dad and Chris at the NE Deaconess Hospital - many years ago. I was a Co-Op student from Holliston and worked with Chris in the Chemistry Lab. Your dad would drive us back and forth to work when we needed a ride. Your dad helped me get started on my "lab" career many ago, and I still am working in the field . The last time I spoke to your Dad is when he came to my father's visitation. It was a great surprise, and we talked for a long time. He will be missed.

My deepest condolences to the Tobin family at the loss of their husband, father and grandfather Bill. He was a very kind person eager to be of assistance when he could. He wrote several beautiful articles in the Holliston Reporter about St. Mary's parish and the women's group, WINGS, at St. Mary's parish. Thank you Bill! You enriched our lives and helped us spread our faith.

The Cullinans left Holliston for New York in the mid 70s, but I had such vivid memories of of lots of Holliston families, and the Tobins were right on top. Whether it was causing trouble or eating pizza together on Friday nights, I loved every minute spent with them. Thank you, Mr Tobin for being a guiding force in raising not only your own kids, but doing a pretty good job in helping George and Kate raise us. Holliston is a better place because of all you did, and the world is a lot better because you were in it. Much love to the Tobin family at this sad time. Eternal rest granted to you, Mr Tobin and may perpetual light shine upon you.

May God\'s light guide Bill home. A truly remarkable man who not only taught the word of the Lord but truly lived it. May his family and friends find comfort in his memories and know that every life each touched is truly better because of him. Thank you Mr. Tobin for your gift to me at a young age and teaching me the true spirit of the Lord.

Our condolences to Anne and sons. Bill was a wonderful man, always smiling and full of energy and good humor. It was always great to see him around at church and town events with his camera, taking photos for the Reporter. He captured our sons more than a few times! He loved Holliston, Boston College, and most especially his family. Faithful to his God, he is surely enjoying his well-deserved heavenly reward.

To all of the Tobins, young and old, Your Father / Grandfather was a wonderful man. He was my father's best friend for as far back as I can remember, and our families seemed to be melded when we were kids. Because of that and his involvement in Youth Hockey in the Seventies and in the Boy Scouts, he was one of the major male influences during my formative years. For that, I am deeply grateful. He was full of life and humor and was one of the hardest workers I've ever met. He took care of his wonderful wife, six boys (!), a big old house and a menagerie of pets ( Bingo, Chief, Nibot...) and never shied from it. And, for a while back in the Seventies, he drove my dream car, that blue Mustang convertible. I would still love to have that car. I am deeply saddened by his passing, and my heart breaks for all of you. I know that he will be missed by all of you and the by the Town of Holliston, of which he was so proud. Please know that you are in our thoughts, Jim and Claudia

My deepest condolences to the Tobin family. Mr. William Tobin will be greatly missed by his family and friends. Wishing to send a comforting hope for the future based on the words of our Lord Jesus Christ found in John 5:28, 29 - " Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life." May the hope of once again seeing our loved ones, in a world where sicknesses will not exist, give you the strength that you need during these difficult times.
