Jerry Toth of Calgary, AB, passed away on Friday, March 19, 2021 at the age of 92 years.

Jerry worked at the Calgary Herald Newspaper for thirty-two years, then, enjoyed retirement for the next thirty-two years. He loved to walk each and every day to work and home for his entire career. No wheels for Jerry, his two feet took him everywhere he had to go in life. He made many friends over the years, wore out many pairs of shoes and held his family and extended family very close to his heart.  His laugh, kind personality and humour, will live deep in the hearts of family members he held so dear. Jerry was an avid sportsman and sports fan. His passion was horses and horse racing. He owned several trotters, enjoying many wins with the likes of Senga Spinner, JC Pacesetter, Homer Hal and his favorite Paprika N. For your enjoyment, $2 win-place-show, or $1 triactor wagers can be made at Calgary or Edmonton racetrack in his honour.  Place your bet and say “This winner’s for you Jerry.”

Jerry is, survived by his brother Allan (Lillian) Toth. He was predeceased by his sister Elsie (Jim) Nicholson and brother Steve (Marge) Toth. Jerry’s fun and engaging presence will be dearly missed. He warmed and enriched the lives of many, including, Allan, Lillian, Bev and Don Blackwell and family, numerous nieces, nephews, family members, extended family and friends alike who had the pleasure to know this wonderful man!
