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.

He was the cherished “Uncle Doug” to more than 20 nieces and nephews.

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.
