Has anyone heard from Toshi?

That stinks, RIP Toshi.

This is such a gut punch.  I pray that his family is doing ok.  

Thanks for the info lawdog. 

Toshi, know that you will be remembered in our hearts and in our prayers until we meet on that great day at the workbench in the sky.

Not what I wanted to hear. I’m so sorry to hear this terrible news. RIP Toshi.

Like everyone here, I followed Allen's frenetic building pace with an equal amount of admiration and awe. He’d have another kit completed in the time it’d take me to open a box and look through the sprues. The improvement of his skills at the bench was pretty amazing too. He was always so gracious responding to comments in the forums as well. Beyond his model building abilities though, I think what I admired most about him was his absolutely amazing spirit. How many of us could suffer such a horrible life altering accident and still be so upbeat and positive? I have no guarantees that I could. There was never one note of self pity or "woe is me" ever in his posts, not even when his wife was so sick. He lived a life worth admiring imho. Rest easy Toshi.

Truly sad news. I have heard the expression "attitude is everything, pick a good one" and he exemplified that in the extreme. It always amazed me that given all that he had been through he was likely to be the one cheering up other forum participants. He will be sorely missed and I will be praying for his wonderful wife and family.

This is indeed very tough news. Toshi's passing is a very saddening and profound loss. 

To me, he was the true embodiment of what a wonderful FSM forum member is. I will never forget my time and experience here with him. He was a joy to this world and to all of us. Rest in Peace My Friend.

That's too bad.  He was a super positive person.  Last threads I recall were around stamp collecting.   He lead such an interesting life.   Happy to have crossed paths.  RIP my friend. 

Truly sad to hear this. RIP Toshi. You always had a positive soul for all. 

I listened to the song Justin. Very powerful, very moving.

RIP.

It was good to follow his work and see the progress he made while working on his modeling skills.  So sorry to learn of his passing tonight.

I will miss Toshi very much and reading this today to find out that Toshi has left us much too soon has left an empty space inside me.

I had extended an open invitation to "Mr & Mrs Toshi" to come over the pond when everyone was well enough to travel and they were looking forwards to the opportunity which with great sadness will now not happen.

He will be missed very much by this community.

Very sad to hear this news.  I loved Toshi's enthusiasm.  

I am rarely on the forum anymore, just busy with business and life. It's tough to see when someone passes. Some people have been on here for many years. 

Stay well everyone.

We've started a GB honoring those that have passed on.  It was for Toshi, but also for Hunter, Lewbud, the professor, John Tilly.

Open ended, and worthwhile to look at it on the shelf, and remember.

Without the intention of opening old and sore wounds, I wanted to bring this back to the top for those that have been away.....
