TOBICOE: Donald Ferman (Toby)
June 4, 1958 - January 9, 2022
Peacefully at Joseph Brant Hospital on Sunday, January 9, 2022, Toby's spirit began his final journey to join his wife Lorie in the sky world. After a long courageous battle with cancer. Dear father of Johnny (Rachel), Cameron (Shelbi), Dallas and Donnie Lyle. Cherished Papa of Zoe and Johnny Junior. Much loved brother of George (Jeanette) and Fay Curtis. Predeceased by wife Lorie, parents Burnace & Alice Tobicoe, siblings Rhea, Wellington "Wimpy", Clayton, Eula, Vera, Ron, Shirley, Ernest "Jim", Stewart, Sherman, Tim and Mary Lou "Loot". Toby leaves many nieces, nephews, relatives and friends who will miss him very dearly. Toby was a kind, generous, spiritual and forgiving man who always extended his help wherever he could. He loved a good laugh and brightened the lives of those who knew him. Toby and those who loved him were immensely proud that having battled alcohol addiction, he was alcohol free for over 194 months and became an AA mentor and inspiration to many others. One Day at a Time. Arrangements by Styres Funeral Home. www.rhbanderson.com

Condolences to Dons sons and their families, and to his siblings. Donnie made my day brighter whenever the off chance was I would meet up with him. He is an old time friend and he helped out a lot of people. Rest easy my friend.
