Bob was born in Coplay on May 15, 1932, son of the late George and Bertha (Yost) Toth. The youngest of seven children, he was preceded in death by his brothers Joseph, James, Charles, George and sisters Minnie Csensits and Hilda Seagreaves. He was employed by Mack Trucks as a supervisor, retiring after more than 35 years of service. He was a member of the Mack Management Club and Mack Chorus.
Bob served in the Korean War and was a fifty year plus member of the American Legion. He served as the Eastern Vice-Commander for the state of Pennsylvania, District Commander and also the Commander and Treasurer for the Coplay American Legion Post 426 and held numerous district and national positions.
He was an active member of St. Peter's Church in Coplay serving as both a Eucharistic Minister and a Lector. He belonged to the Holy Name Society and was a Third Degree Knight in the Knights of Columbus.
Bob was very generous with his time, volunteering to many worthwhile causes, such as reading the newspaper for the print handicapped at radio station WRRS/RADPRIN, and visiting veterans at local nursing homes and those home-bound. He was a member of the Honor Guard serving at many veteran memorial services. He earned his professional Movie Projectionist license and showed movies at the Ritz Theater in Coplay for many years. Bob also enjoyed home improvement, always working on projects, including additions to his home. He was a wonderful Pop Pop to his grandchildren.
