[Editor's comment: I have known Myron and Judy Toney since 1986 when I was called to be the pastor of Tarkenton Memorial. Myron's father and mother were members of our church and active in the church. Marilyn Toney Strickland and her husband, Stanley, played the piano and organ for our church.
Myron was a prince of a man, a Southern Gentleman, a scientist, church musician, loving and devoted husband father and grandfather. He was friendly, open, accessible, always ready to lean a helping hand to those who had a need. I will greatly miss him who has blessed my life over the years. May the Holy Spirit bring comfort and peace to the family that I dearly love.]
