please accept our sincere condolences and prayers. Grandmaster Toney was a true gentleman, and an inspiration.
Mr. Toney was a great mentor and a good friend. I could count on his good advice. He often asked me "How's the striper fishin on Texoma?" My wife and I will miss him dearly – but he will always be in our hearts. Sam & Alicea Perez Denison, Texas
I knew Jim or Toney as everyone called him thru his wife Connie when Connie and I worked together for the Friends of the Richardson Library at the library. Remember some book pickups we went on. Remember his coming to the library to see Connie, dinners, etc. Enjoyed my last conversation with him very well. Am glad his suffering is over.

We knew James as just Toney growing up and to the present. Jim Toney on occasion. Any time my dad said, I talked with Toney today we knew who he meant. There was only one Toney. Toney was one of the good people you meet through life. My parents became life long friends with the Toney's through their martial arts lives and beyond. Toney was a very good man. A rock! I will remember him till my time comes…….. Godspeed James B. Toney Marc Erickson

There are so very many memories over the last 48 years I really don't know where to begin. One, though, is a few years ago when he first had to start having Oxygen. We were at a Belt testing and on the board and he suddenly leaned over to me and said "This Oxygen thing sucks big time. Don't do it if you don't have too."
I am so sorry to be out of town until the 29th missing the opportunity to support family and friends during this time of transition. May we all find peace in the life we shared for this very special man. Safe journeys Mr. Toney. I will miss you greatly.
