Don Toll, of Palm Harbor, Fla., summer resident of Boothbay Harbor, and retired teacher of San Diego, Cal., died at home after a three-year battle with cancer.
A lover of literature, those three precious years were spent writing “The Seagull Who Refused to Be Ordinary,” and “The Small Tall Ship.”
Don is survived by his wife, Shammi; two sisters; one brother; two stepdaughters; and three grandchildren.
A guest book is available online at www.tampabay.com/obits for his friends and fans. Please, no flowers; a donation to any local charity would be fine.
