Thomas J. Toth

Thomas J. Toth, age 69, passed away on March 23, 2015 at Ebeid Hospice Residence surrounded by his loving family. Tom was born June 23, 1945 in Toledo to Bernard, Sr. and Ruth (Schwanzel) Toth. He was a 1963 graduate of Central Catholic High School and served in the Air National Guard. Tom worked for Dana Corp. for several years before joining the family business, Toth Industries. He served as Vice President of Sales and Marketing, advancing the business along with his brothers, Bernie and Rick. A member of North Cape Yacht Club since March of 1975, Tom had a lifelong love of being on the water which started with sailing and racing sailboats and later evolved into power boating and cruising the Lake Erie Islands and the waters of Michigan with dear friends. An avid sports fan, he was a member of Highland Meadows Golf Club for 30 years and loved cheering the Detroit Red Wings and Alabama Crimson Tide while ribbing his Ohio State and Michigan friends. Tom will be lovingly remembered for his dry, sarcastic sense of humor, stoic and sensitive nature and his love of life and family. Left to cherish his memory is his loving wife of 43 years, Bonnie; daughters, Amanda (Bill) Pennington and Mollie Toth; grandsons, Patrick and Aidan Pennington, who were the lights of his life; brother, Richard (Carol) Toth; and nieces, Laura, Katie, Carrie, and Kim. He was preceded in death by his parents and brother, Bernard J. Toth, Jr. The family would like to express their sincere appreciation to the doctors at University of Michigan Hospital, and the staffs of Ebeid Hospice Residence and Kingston of Perrysburg for their care and support.
