Thanks for letting us know.  Let him know we're rooting for him and Mrs. Toshi.

Just heard back from Toshi.  He just got out of the hospital with a covid19 scare.  Was just pneumonia.  Has lost use of his right arm due to the TBI issue.  Rehab is on hold because of the lockdown and social distancing.  Says he is going to battle back and appreciates everyone's thoughts and prayers.

No word on Mrs Toshi though.

You all have the email address from his online profile here?

I had sent him several sets of pics I had for one of his builds.  I for one am on board with sending a card to him and the family.  If you are comfortable with it, please PM the address.

Thanks

And I personally, do not think it would be an invasion of privacy. (his address is in an old topic discussion) I think Toshi would love it if everybody sent him a card saying how much we are thinking of him and his family.

P.S. I have his address. Just don't think it is my place to post it here.

I dug in my address book, and came up with another email, sent another to both of them. Niether got bounced back to me as not good addresses. No phone or street address for them.

Member GAF just posted a good thought, about those that have sent him models and may have his address, then send a brief letter trying to see if he is OK. If I had his address, I'd be fine with trying to make contact.

He lives in Streetboro, Ohio, I believe. Perhaps someone with access to that phone book could see if they can get his address, and/or phone number. I hope that wouldn't be seen as an invasion of the Toshi families privacy, that's surely not the intent.

His name is Allen, (or maybe Alan,) I miss Toshi's daily checking in, and the photos of him and Grandson Ezra happily at work on models. I hope we'll see him back on the forum at some point, and in good health.

Best regards.

Patrick
