The region, not just Oakland County, took a hit this week with the passing of Dennis Toffolo, Oakland County's Deputy County Executive for Economic Development.  Dennis was a team player and always tried to look for "win-win" solutions to growing the economy.  A former Renaissance Board Member when he was President of Hudson's Department Stores, Toffolo recognized the importance of regionalism.  He was a tireless advocate for development in Oakland County, but understood that Oakland coundn't be successful without a strong region.  Dennis, you will be missed for your friendship, counsel and tireless belief in Michigan.
