WHEREAS, Born to O. A. and Nell Toeppich on June 20, 1933, in | ||

1990, he retired to his ranch in Mason County and went on to raise an | ||
abundance of champion steers and heifers; an expert marksman, he | ||

continued to hone his skills throughout his life, taking down a | ||

WHEREAS, Mr. Toeppich shared a rewarding union with his wife, | ||
Carolyn, whom he married on November 26, 1955; he took great pride | ||

four grandchildren, Steven, Stuart, Mary, and Shelby, and four | ||
great-grandchildren; and | ||
WHEREAS, While the death of Stanley Toeppich brings | ||
immeasurable sorrow to his family and friends, he leaves behind a | ||
record of service that will long be treasured by all those who held | ||
him dear; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas | ||
