IN MEMORIAM / Michael Toney
Michael Byron Toney, a former regional sales
manager for Midlothian, Texas-based supplier
Ennis, Inc. (PPAI 280026), passed away on
February 19 in Fullerton, California. He was 67.
Toney, a graduate of Ohio University, spent
more than 30 years in the print business, first
with Datagraphics and later with Printegra,
which Ennis acquired in 2012. He remained
with Ennis until this past November.
“Michael was the type of salesperson
who would go out of his way to help all of his
customers, who to him were really his friends,”
says Terry Pennington, Ennis vice president
of sales. “The entire Ennis family extends
their heartfelt condolences and sympathies
to Michael’s family, friends and coworkers.”
Toney is survived by his mother, Anne
Toney; wife, Dolores; son, Jonathan;
daughter, Jennifer Beck and her husband,
Luke; granddaughters, Kensington
and Mackinleigh Beck; and numerous
cousins, nieces and nephews.
