He will be missed by his brother, Arnold Hines, and his sister, Seleta (Jerry) Combs, who held him dear in their hearts.   Toby was preceded in death by his parents, Ralph and Mary L. Hines, and his siblings, Patrick Eugene Hines, and Regina Hines.

Toby enjoyed camping, going to the casino, piddling in his garage, and playing with all of his grandkids and great grandkids. He was a fair weather fan of his favorite football teams, baseball teams and Nascar drivers. He had a special bond with his dog, Tinker, who was always by his side, bringing happiness to him and Anna.
