Richard Don O'Toole

On Saturday, May 28, 2022, Richard Don O’Toole, loving father and grandfather, passed away at the age of 69. “Rick”, as he was known by many of us, was born in Fort Worth, Texas on December 16th, 1952, and attended South West High School in Fort Worth Texas. After High School, he served in the United States Air Force and then went on to get his Masters in Geology from the University of Houston.

He married his life-long partner and wife, Audry Ann O’Toole, on August 4th, 1973, and together had a son, Jesse O’Toole.

We will remember Rick for being a loving family man, never missing the opportunity to cheer Jesse on in his sporting events, for always being supportive, and when warranted, not afraid to put his foot down. Rick had many hobbies over his lifetime, he was an avid coin collector, wood worker, gardener, home chef, and later in life when no one would tell him no, a motorcycle rider. His fondest memories were spent with his family on long road trips with the camper, on a tropical island at a Sandals resort, or at a local restaurant. He was most proud of his 47 years of marriage to Audry, being a father to Jesse and a grandfather to his “Chief”.

Rick had a successful career in the Manufacturing industry retiring in 2019. During his career he held several positions from being a Machinist to a shop Foreman eventually ending in his career in Sales, where until his retirement he was one of the highest sales performer’s for the company.

He is preceded in death by his wife Audry O’Toole, mother Gladys O’Toole, Father Charles O’Toole Sr., and brother Charles O’Toole Jr.

He is survived by son Jesse O’Toole, daughter-in-law Moira O’Toole, grandson Christian “Chief” O’Toole, sisters Kathy (Donn) Levinski and Cindy (Raymond) Sirkel , brother Scott O’Toole, and many nieces and nephews.
