Joseph Alexander Toth Jr

Joseph A. Toth, Jr. passed away at his home in Jacksonville, Florida, early Sunday morning, July 21st, 2024. He is survived by his ex-wife and loving friend, Barbara Toth, his daughter Laura Toth, his son and his wife, Joseph Toth, III and Kate Toth, and their daughter, the light of his life, Tori Toth. He is also survived by his longtime companion, Jan DiFini of Palm Harbor, Florida, as well as countless friends and extended family. No one was a stranger to Dad. He loved meeting new people and “shooting the breeze” with more or less anyone willing to chat with him. His family and extended family were important to him, and we wish to thank everyone who touched his life in some small way. He talked about many of you during his last days as his life became a highlight reel of past good times.

He was many things to many people but father and grandfather brought his greatest pride and joy. Through the years he was an outdoorsman and particularly loved hunting in PA and fishing in both PA and Florida, especially near Honeymoon Island in the Clearwater area. Nothing was more peaceful for him than fishing, whether in a stream for trout, or in the Gulf catching all the West Coast of Florida has to offer, including a few small sharks! He was also a golfer, bringing home many amateur trophies over the years. He instilled in both his children a love for the outdoors and all the wildlife contained therein. Our time spent with our father enjoying the outdoors will be cherished for all the days of our lives.

We would like to add a special mention for his Heartland Hospice care team for their kindness, compassion, and support. We are forever grateful.

It was fitting that our goldendoodle, Angel, who loved Dad more than anyone else, also passed away on the same day just a few hours later, so Dad did not have to make the final journey alone, a rarity. Dad was not a veteran but was so very proud of both his father’s and son’s military service in the U.S. Army. We therefore would like to request all memorial donations to be sent to K9s for Warriors in his name. Headquartered in Ponte Vedra, Florida, their website is k9sforwarriors.org.
