Archie Lewis Toole Obituary (1929 - 2017)

Archie Lewis Toole Archie Lewis Toole, 88, passed away peacefully at home with his wife by his side, surrounded by his loving family and dog on September 26, 2017 after a long battle with cancer and a valiant fight against old age. He always said "getting old ain't for sissies!" Archie continually had a cheesy smile for those he joked around with. He had a love for anything with a motor, especially motorcycles and classic cars. He passed this love on to the children he raised in a garage covered in grease. He even handed down his coveralls to his daughter! He owned several old cars and trucks including his favorite "55 T-Bird". He enjoyed collecting trains as a hobby. Archie was born to Arthur and Alice Toole on February 26, 1929. Archie served in the US Army and retired from the Tooele Army Depot and Hill Air Force Base as the rail shop foreman, where he let his family climb on the trains and blow the horn. Archie mentioned he was the youngest employee to be hired and the oldest employee when he retired. Archie and NolaRae were married on August 2, 1952, after they met in Roy, Utah. Archie was preceded in death by his parents, his sisters Francis, Betty and Allie. His sons Terry, Douglas and his dogs Pudgie, Petite and Nickie D. He is survived by his beloved wife, NolaRae, his "favorite daughter" Tauna; sons, Ron (Ruby) and Roger (Betty) and precious dog Chyanne, brother Henry and sister Violet. A special thanks to the Wasatch home helpers, who sat diligently by his side for many months caring for his every need 24/7. We all welcomed these loving, gentle women into their home and are glad they became friends. Heart felt appreciation also goes to the Symbii hospice group who were the support and strength the family needed in the last months. We will be forever grateful for those wonderful guardian angels Archie and NolaRae had watching over them! A public viewing will be held on Saturday, September 30, 2017 from 1-2 pm at the Myers Mortuary 5865 South 1900 West in Roy, Utah.
