Carff, Toby
SYRACUSE - After a long and heroic battle with cancer, Toby Joe Carff,
returned to our Heavenly Father on Friday, March 18, 2005. He was born to
Dennie and Norene Carff, on June 23, 1973, in Hot Springs, South Dakota. He
was a courageous boy who loved sports. While in high school, he was a
competitive athlete and after graduation he joined the US Navy because of his
patriotism and sense of adventure. While on his career path, Toby began the
best adventure of his life, on January 9, 1999, he married his sweetheart,
Janie Walmer, in the Oakland California LDS Temple. They lived in Concord and
Oceanside, California, where Toby served in the US Navy and attained the rank
of Petty Officer 1st Class, until he began his fight against the illness that
rendered all of his warrior's weapons useless. He fought with courage, but
while doing so, he sought for the welfare of his family amidst the pain and
moved them to Syracuse, Utah. Toby was a hero to many of us, as he did ma ny
things that he wasn't supposed to be able to do. He never really told us how
much he hurt, as he dealt with the pain and indignities of his illness. Toby
was an honest man, whenever you were with him you knew exactly where you
stood. Toby was always willing to take on a challenge and would do so with
unlimited vigor and enthusiasm. Toby will always be remembered as a beloved
husband, devoted son, loving father, loyal brother and child of God. He will
be greatly missed by his dear wife and four daughters, Shai, Josephine, Emma
and Tessa, his parents, brothers, Dennie (Lisa), Eugene, and Tom (Robyn), his
grandmother, Grace (Billy) Hazle and his many nieces and nephews, cousins,
aunts, uncles and friends. Funeral services will be held Wednesday at 11 a.m.

McKinley, Linda C. Currin
Linda C. Currin McKinley ROY - We lost our beloved Linda on Sunday March 20,
2005, due to complications from heart problems. She was 59 years old and in a
fair world she would have lived to see many more springs come and go. However,
in the words of a great nephew, "fairness is a myth". She was born in Ogden on
September 29, 1945 to Vincent Sloan and Martha June Clifford Currin. She lived
her entire life in the Ogden area except for a few years spent in Dallas,
Texas. In July of 1971, Linda married Charles Ira McKinley. They were later
divorced. She attended Ogden City schools, graduating from Ogden High school.
She graduated from Weber State College with a Bachelor of Science Degree in
Sociology. She had a natural talent for that and people were drawn to her
listening ear and compassionate soul. She could sit on a bus with a stranger
sitting next to her and by the time she reached her stop she would have heard
about their lives and troubles. It was like she wore a sign reading " you can
tell me, I care". She loved her family, her dear friends in her church and the
children in her Sunday School class, flowers (especially Red Emperor tulips in
the spring), Drew's grilled hot dogs (and his teasing), iced tea on the patio,
key lime pie, little kittens and a good book. Linda is survived by her sister,
Lou Ann, a nephew, Drew, nieces, Karen, Robin and Kathleen, 16 great nieces
and nephews, and 10 great-great nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death
by her parents, her sister, Patricia, and her brothers-in-law, John Dunifer

Chrissy Church, who was always there for Linda, and thank her so very much for
everything. Graveside services will be held Thursday at 3:00 p.m. at
