Lauren Boyer hasn't added a story.
Hello! My name is Lauren, and I'm a former Atlantic Veterinary College (AVC) classmate of Toby Emo. Tragically, Toby unexpectedly passed away on Sunday, June 7, 2015 at the youthful age of 40. He leaves behind his vet school sweetheart and soulmate, Ailsa, their two adorable and much-adored children, Piper (10) and Brooks (5), a bevy of well-loved animals, and countless friends and family members. In addition to being a compassionate and knowledgable veterinarian in Nunda, NY, Toby was an avid horseman who enjoyed bowling and golfing. He was a 26 year member of the New York Grange and was also a Captain and Owner of the Buffalo Wings flyball team.
We (Toby's AVC classmates) would like to raise money in order to create a scholarship in Toby's name so that future veterinary students could benefit from the educational opportunities that we enjoyed at AVC. We would also like to establish the sponsorship of a division at the CanAm Flyball Championships, as Toby had recently been appointed as Head Judge for the event, an honor that gave him great pride. Any funds raised beyond those necessary for the above causes will go directly to Ailsa to be used at her discretion.
Toby's presence was larger than life- his laugh was booming and infectious, his eyes twinkled (With compassion? Mischieviousness? Probably a bit of both!), and he was genuinely concerned for the well-being of all two- and four-legged creatures he met. Above all else, Toby was a devoted family man who cherished time with Ailsa, Piper, and Brooks. The hole he leaves is huge and widens with every memory, and his AVC classmates would very much like to commemorate his short life by helping his family and by supporting causes that were important to him. Please feel free to share with anyone you feel would value Toby's commitment to his family, animals and education. Thank you so much!
