Donald Toth Obituary
He was the devoted husband of Lynn Toth (née Spencer), the cherished father of Michael (Cynthia) Toth and Chris Toth, and the proud and adored grandfather of Joseph and Rebecca Grace. He was also a loyal brother in law and loving uncle to many, and a great friend to countless others.
Don lived a full and spirited life, defined by service, entrepreneurship, and a love for family and community. He was a past Commodore of the Lake County Yacht Club, an assistant Cub Scout Master, and a former volunteer firefighter for Mentor-on-the-Lake. During the 1970s and 1980s, Don owned and operated Caverns lounge in Willoughby. His family now owns two bars in Mentor, beloved gathering spots remembered by many. Over the years, he worked as a car salesman, ran his own cleaning company, and continually embraced new ventures with energy and determination.
A graduate of St. Joseph High School (now VASJ), Don had a deep passion for youth sports, often sponsoring local teams and encouraging young athletes. He loved riding motorcycles, was happiest out on the water as an avid boater, and carried a true entrepreneurial spirit in everything he did.
Above all, Don was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother in law, uncle, and friend whose presence brought joy and laughter to those around him. His legacy will live on in the family he loved so deeply and in the community he supported throughout his life.
A Celebration honoring Don's life will be held at a later date.

Sending our condolences,thoughts and prayers to the Toth family during this difficult time. Don was a great guy. It was wonderful seeing and talking to him last month. He was still the kind and funny guy I remember. Always loved his witty comebacks!

Haven´t seen Don in years but he is remembered from the neighborhood playing in our touch football games at Hannah Gibbons or next to Charlie´s gas station right by his street. RIP Don

I lost track of Don over the years. He roller skated at Waltons Roller Rink where I was the organist and part time floor guard. He was a great guy and we always had a good time.

I had the privilege of knowing Don for more than a few years. We had some wonderful conversations over those years. He always took time to talk, even when he was busy. I'll miss him immensely! Rest easy now, Don Juan!
