Obituary for Douglas Stephen Toth
Douglas Stephen Toth, age 77, of Stratford, passed away peacefully after a long illness on Thursday, January 25, 2024 at home with his loving family by his side. He was the beloved husband of Patricia Tristine Toth for 51 years. Douglas was born on August 7, 1946 and was the proud father of his two daughters, Meredith Toth and Jessica Toth Mullaly, both of Stratford. In addition, Douglas is survived by three siblings, Susan Jezierny and her husband Kenneth of Trumbull, Bartholomew “Zip” Toth and his wife Joanne, and Mark Toth of Stratford. He was the cherished “Uncle Doug” to more than 20 nieces and nephews. Douglas was predeceased by his parents Stephen and Mildred Toth; sisters Julieanne Toth and Deanna Burruano, and son-in-law Steven Mullaly.
Douglas grew up in Stratford and attended Bullard Havens Technical School where he studied the plumbing trade. He worked as a plumber for over 30 years and also drove for the Town of Stratford Board of Education. He served in the United States Army from 1970 to 1972. He was an avid fisherman who spent many happy days saltwater fishing in different areas of Stratford. He always enjoyed watching the New York Yankees and Giants, viewing the visiting hummingbirds in the backyard, and spending time taking rides in his truck with his best friend and beloved dog, Moose. He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
