 András
“Andy” Toth, 95, of Lancaster, PA, and formerly of Cleveland, OH,
was
escorted through the gates of Heaven on
Thursday,
November 24, 2011, at Lancaster Hospice Center. He was born in
Kisvárda, Hungary to the late András and Borbála Toth.
Andy is survived by his wife, Theresia, with whom 62nd
wedding anniversary was celebrated on November 26.
He and
Theresia immigrated to the USA in 1951 after working for the US
Army in post-war Germany following service with the Hungarian Army
during WWII. He proudly served his country and was proud to be an
American.
He retired
from the Ford Motor Company, Cleveland, OH, after 29 years.
He enjoyed
hiking, gardening, home upgrades, ballroom dancing, family
vacations, bird-watching, playing bocce ball, and listening to
classical and Hungarian music. He sacrificed many of his personal
interests in favor of his family. Andy is remembered most of all
for his humor, his zest for life, for being a devoted and loving
husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather.
Surviving in
addition to his wife of 62 years, he will be lovingly missed by
daughter, Teri Sclafani with son-in law Dr. Alan Sclafani DPM of
Lancaster, and son, John, of Reno, NV.
Affectionately
known as "Nagypapa," Andy is also survived by three grandsons whom
he loved very much: Daniel, David and Adam. He also has a
granddaughter Mandi by marriage to David, and a great-grandson
Andrew born in September. Several nieces and nephews live in
Hungary and around the world. He was predeceased by brothers
Joseph and Mihaly, and sisters Erzsebet and Ilonka.
