Thoughts and prayers are with the family
Toby was my cousin and I remember all the Thanksgivings, 4th of July’s, and fun times growing up together. Used his body shop a few times and always was a professional job. I moved to Morgan County years later and we would call each other to see who found the most mushrooms!! Condolences to Jill and Kitty and the family.

Sorry for the family’s loss. I have a lot of memories from childhood with Toby, Laraine, Al , and Effie. Kind of funny that when we were still in school, Toby used to say he couldn’t wait to leave Mooresville. Just a few years later he was on the Mooresville city council. I know he loved his family and wanted the best for them.
