Bob was born at home in Lyonsdale on September 25,
1940, a son of the late Albert John and Loretta Annabell Russell Toth. He
graduated from Port Leyden High School in 1958. Bob enlisted in the U.S.
Navy, serving his country from 1958 until 1961. After his service he worked

County and entered the New York State Police Academy, retiring after 26
years from Troop D in Lowville, NY.
On April 12, 1980, he married Patricia (Adams) Steria

States in their motorhome. Bob enjoyed the outdoors, hunting, fishing, and
was a long-time member of the Kafalka Hunting

family home. Together with his father and brother they owned and operated

boarding at their camp on Effley Falls. Most of
all, he cherished spending time with his family.
