I just learned of Guy's passing to the Eternal Hiking Grounds. I'm so saddened by the news. I met Guy on hikes through our hiking club about 10 years ago. Then we became hiking buddies on our own, and I always enjoyed our forays (and the gifts from his garden). When I became a hike leader, he occasionally came on my hikes, the most recent in July 2021. I could always count on him to be helpful to others on the hikes. I will truly miss seeing his cheerful smiles. Enjoy the wide open space, my...

I knew Guy from hiking. He was a force of nature with his boundless energy and enthusiasm. He made others feel special, bestowing gifts from his garden, life stories, financial wisdom and genuine caring. I will miss him very much. He and his family are in my thoughts and prayers.

I met Guy at one of the hiking groups in Virginia and while I was shy, he was there to break the ice and make me feel comfortable. I went to multiple events and always tried to go to the event that Guy planned to come to, and I enjoyed the conversation. He taught me a lot, and I always enjoyed listening to his garden story and checking whether he made it 20 miles/week goal. I used to bring a big camera with me for hiking, and he always talked (in a good way) about my camera skill :) I haven't...

Guy was such a kind and friendly soul. Shared many happy hours hiking and chatting. The world needs more like him!

Most people knew him as Guy. My nickname for him was Gato. I will miss my dear friend, traveler, gardener. He was an example of how life needs to be lived. With passion, compassion, adventure, love of family, friends, animals and Mother Earth. I have priceless memories of walks, talks, digging in the dirt and good old fashion friendship with him. My deepest condolences to Rita and the entire Toscano family here in the States and Sicily (many of them I met when I went over the pond...

I was on several hikes with Guy. He was a carefree and enjoyable person. We spent many hours talking about his family here in the United States and Sicily. Guy lived the sweet life, La Dolce Vita. I'll miss him. Riposa in pace Guy Toscano

Guy and I were good friends throughout high school and college. Afterward, we didn´t get together as much as we would like, but when we did it was just as if we had seen each other the previous day. I was honored when he asked me to be the best man at his wedding to Rita. I got to meet a lot of his family and quickly realized Guy had the same easy-going, friendly personality as they did. We all know Guy was a fun-loving person, who always had some type of scheme going. I remember in high...

This picture was last Christmas. I still can´t believe you are gone. I miss you so much, Dad. I appreciate all the kind messages from people sharing how he touched their lives and find comfort that he will live on in our memories.
