Frank Toth Sr.

July 14, 2010 will be the one year anniversary of my father in law's passing. i said it then and i will say it again, i have never met a man as great and wonderful as this man. if this world had more Frank Toth's in it, it would be a better place. i added atleast one of them (haha) and hope he does the name justice. i woke up yesterday morning with this anniversary on my mind. i grabbed a pen and paper and the following is what came out. This is in memory of that dear man, who ALWAYS treated me as one of his own daughters from day one.



Frank Toth

A teacher, a husband, a brother
A father, a friend, a good son to his mother
A leader, a Christian, a sailor among men
Everyone of these hats, he wore all of them
Honest, loyal, intelligent and funny
Things that were more important to him then money
Loving, caring and sometimes strict
Don’t talk in church or the finger would pinch
Morals, values and lessons he would teach
People from every generation he could reach
In his wife he found his greatest love
Only God himself could rate above
His children, he loved to have around
A better father, nowhere on Earth could be found
The garden, the church, the school or the fair
If you look in these places, he was sure to be there
Down in the basement just a painting away
Or at the supper table, discussing his day
Coffee in an orange mug & cigarette in hand
These became loving trademarks for this wonderful man
How rare it is to meet a man like this
Which is why, this man is so sorely missed
For even though, we will see him again
Things just aren’t the same without this truly great man
However Frank Toth, you still carry on
In your grandkids, your wife, you daughters and sons
You see, while here on Earth, you made a huge mark
You left footprints in everyone of our hearts
And as the dawn breaks of each day anew
We remember again, how much we still love you
