allowed him to bring his expertise and contagious smile to appraisal districts across the state, ending his career working for Eagle Appraisal Services.

He loved Big Spring and its people. You couldn’t go to the grocery store in Big Spring, Texas with Keith without encountering at least five folks he knew. You couldn’t go to the bank with Keith without him saying “hi” to everyone by name and inquiring about their lives. And back in his somewhat younger days, you couldn’t go to a honkytonk with him without running into a room full of his best friends excited to see him and having a hell of a good time.

Along the way he met three wonderful women who he never stopped loving, fathered three children and raised four, lived a lot of life, and taught us all so much.

He was fond of saying that he wasn’t rich in money, but he was rich in love, and that’s what really counts, but I would like to say he wasn’t as rich as us kids because we truly won the lottery when it comes to dads.

Robert (Keith) Toomire is survived by his four sisters, daughter Lori Strickland, sons Kyle Toomire (Rachael), Dave Rundell (Rachel Hough) and Ryan Toomire (Christopher Barnes), Trudie Stovall and family, eight grandchildren, and one great grandson.

If you wish to make a donation in Keith’s honor, the family suggests Warriors Heart Foundation, Warriorsheart.com, 756 Purple Sage Rd. Bandera, Texas 78003, or to the charity of your choice.

Memorial services will be at 3 p.m. Saturday at Myers & Smith Chapel.

Arrangements are by Myers & Smith Funeral Home. Pay your respects online at www.myersandsmith.com
