Donald Orlando Toci
Donald Orlando Toci was born to Orlando Joseph and Doris Illene Hunter Toci on January 15, 1935 in Prescott, Arizona and died June 3, 2001, at Kadlec Medical Center, Richland, WA.
He attended the University of Oklahoma and graduated from the University of Arizona, Tuscon, majoring in agronomy. He was a member of the Delta Fraternity.
Mr. Toci successfully farmed in Arizona and cattle ranched in Colorado before moving to Mattawa, Washington in 1979. He has farmed on the Waluke slope since then, growing wine grapes, apples, alfalfa and grain on the Rosebud, Willows and Dirtwater. When he retired, his stepson, Roy, farmed while Don restored old automobiles. He was especially proud of a 1934 sedan with suicide doors and a 1937 platform truck
Don was successful in all his endeavors and enjoyed life to the fullest. He always wanted to see what was over the hill before he was. We will sorely miss him.
He is survived by his wife, Norma Fay; daughter, Michelle Toci Meier; son, Michael Orlando Toci; stepdaughters, Paula Dobson Wik and Tamara Dobson Smith; stepson, F. Roy Dobson III; and twelve grandchildren.
A Celebration of Life will be at 10:30 a.m. Saturday, June 9, 2001, at Einans Funeral Home. Funeral services will be held Friday, June 15, 2001, at Ruffner-Wakelin Funeral Home, Prescott, Arizona.

My fondest memories of Don is that his wellingness to help out when my wife passed away. Don and Norman were right there for me and my family.
