Daily News | Robert I. Toll, innovative cofounder, chairman emeritus of Toll Brothers builders, and philanthropist, has died at 81
, writer John McManus noted Mr. Toll’s “unique amalgam of leadership qualities — razor sharp focus, a passion for minutia and questions, the thrill of the deal, and a strong measure of humor in the mix.”
“Bob had such a profound impact on so many of us in so many unique ways,” said Douglas C. Yearley Jr., chairman and CEO of Toll Brothers. “His huge heart, unique sense of humor, zest for life, and profound intelligence.” An enthusiastic opponent on the tennis court and golf course, Mr. Toll also played softball at the company’s annual picnics, raced sailboats in Long Island Sound, skied the Colorado mountains, and swam in lakes with his family in Maine. He liked opera, and was witty and quick with quotable conclusions.
