FReeper gulfcoast6 Has Passed Away
July 24, 2011 | prairiebreeze

Posted on 07/24/2011 12:54:49 PM PDT by prairiebreeze

Word has come that FReeper gulfcoast 6 has passed away. Toby was a regular member of the America The Right Way thread, and was a FReeper in good standing since 1999.

Toby had many friends on this forum and his wise, gentle posts and warm humor will be sorely missed. He has gone to his glory in Christ and joins his wife Treva who preceeded him in death and whom he lovingly posted about after her death.

Toby loved God, his dear family (who he proudly posted about often) and his friends. We will all miss him and look forward to the time we see him again in Eternity.

Rest In Peace, dear FRiend.

Dang, all I got was the dreaded red "x's" in your link. I love to see those ole-time photos.

Guess they must have expired by now.

His post from 3 days ago was so happy. I feel terrible for not responding.

Me too.

I was hoping when I saw them.

Red 'x's' are all I got.

Thanks for posting the thread Prairie. Dog suggested we needed one & I was going to do it if no one else did once the funeral/viewing details were published.

Toby had a heart of Gold and walked with God. He loved his family so much and was very proud of the children & the adoptions of the two little fellas to add to Allie who he beamed regarding in his posts.

He always missed Treva. Had some funny stories on his work as a cop. His most recent efforts in the collection and delivery of books to prisons was heartwarming

He was affected strongly by Katrina. His SIL worked at the casino that was demolished.

My pup Toby (stray that showed up) is named after GulfCoast6. When I would post about Toby shaking under my chair, GC6 would quickly add that, it was not the fact that he was back home & NOT under my chair.

We have lost some good people the past few years here at FR. Not everyone is a stellar political activist but most here care fiercely about the republic and Toby Wood was one of those.

RIP dear, dear FRiend.

For years his first post of the day was “greetings from the beautiful etc...” He loved his community & had such funny stories on the shack in the back.

Toby has had many health issues over the years and he often remarked how thankful he was to have another day of life. Here is a pix from a few years ago of Toby, daughter Tracy & Granddaughter Allie. Allie is now a junior or senior in HS.

I didn’t know him, but it sounds like he was an awesome man for the Lord; probably dancing on the streets of gold right now. May the Lord Jesus Christ give his family and friends peace and comfort.

Happy Homegoing, Toby! I’m sure Treva has wrapped you in her arms and hasn’t let go yet.....

You were a man of honor, courage and humor. May God have many more men of your caliber to take up “the good fight”.

Blessings on your family!
Pat

Oh, I am so sad to know he has left us, although I am certain he will be greeted with “Well done, godd and faithful servant!”

I spoke to him on the phone several years ago when he was in the hospital recuperating from a heart episode. He was a wonderful man, kind-hearted and loving, faithful to the memory of his beloved Treva, and a patriot to the bone.

It is sad to have so many leave us, but I am glad he will join Treva.

May perpetual light shine upon him, and may he rest in peace.

Prayers for him and his family from the Viking Lodge. He did his work here - now the Lord shall provide him with the rewards he has reaped for his toils.

Prarie, you said it all. Toby was a wise, warm, gentle and loving person. He will be sorely missed.

May he rest in peace and may God’s light perpetual shine upon him.

He was always such an upbeat encourager. I loved his stories about his family. It’s a comfort to know that he’s in the presence of the Lord at this very moment.
