                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, April 25, 2007

  Mr. ROSS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the memory of my 
friend Mr. Murray Toler of Malvern, Arkansas, who passed away April 14, 
2007.
  Murray Toler was a World War II veteran, devoted family man and a 
civic leader whose optimistic and determined outlook on life impacted 
all who knew him and called him a friend.
  Murray Toler was born and raised in Leola and Sheridan, Arkansas, and 
upon graduating high school, he joined the United States Navy, where he 
served through World War II. Murray Toler spent a lifetime in the 
forestry and lumber business as the longtime partner and active manager 
at the H.G. Toler and Sons Lumber Company in Leola. He was a devout 
member of the First United Methodist Church of Malvern, where he 
actively served on numerous committees and boards throughout the years. 
Murray Toler also served on the board of directors of the Malvern 
National Bank for more than 40 years, an accomplishment that 
demonstrated his dedication and commitment to his community.
  I send my deepest condolences to his wife, Ruby, of Malvern; his two 
daughters Nancy Toler Grigsby and Cindy Toler Hale; his son David 
Toler; and to his five grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.
  Murray Toler will be sorely missed by his family, his church and his 
community. I will continue to keep his family in my thoughts and 
prayers.
