Omigosh! I’m going to forward your comment to my mom, she’ll get a kick out of that. I bet it was his! She’ll probably sweet-talk you into scanning the inscription for her. ;-)

Hi, I have an Elsie the Cow Cookbook which was inscribed: Corpus Christi, Tx
May 18, 1953. Presented to Mr Dan Toomey, for secureing the most new customers of any man in the department. Congratulations! Ellic Henderson

I think this might have been your uncle's book, since he drove a dairy truck in Corpus Christi after the war. I guess Borden's Dairy was located there! Effie

To your Uncle Dan: Rest In Peace. To you, my condolences. Since he was a Toomey, does that make you related to Jenny Toomey? Your uncle has a close resemblance to my grampa-in-law, Andrew Belevich, who died at a rupe old age many years ago (1978). He was a character, a one-of-a-kind; as I’m sure your uncle was from what little of his life is told in the obituary.

(Bonnie Bell!) Aw, Edith, I am so sorry to hear such a cool man isn’t among us. Great to read his obituary though, and inspiring to lead a good life, you know? Sell my farm and take up photography…something…

You and your family have my most heart-felt condolences. Uncle Dan sounds like he was a really terrific guy. I'll try to get down to Shady Grove this week and walk under the pecan trees, now that I know that he was the responsible party for these spectacular trees.
Death sure has a way of putting one's life into sharper relief, making it that much easier to celebrate.
Here's to you, Uncle Dan.
