Joseph P. Toskey (Pap to many) age 95 went to be with the Lord on Sunday evening, September 5, 2021. We owe a great deal of gratitude to staff at Morristown Hamblen Hospital for their care and compassion during his illness.
Joseph was born and raised in Patton Pennsylvania. He graduated from Patton High School and attended many service and management programs for Ford. Joseph proudly served in the U.S. Army for 3 years during World War II. He shared stories of traveling across Europe in a troop train and said he learned to cook in their down time! Joseph was a successful Parts and Service Manager for Ford from 1946-1990. After retirement from Beach Ford in Virginia Beach, Virginia, he worked at a second career as a salesman for Sears in Morristown from 1990-2013 and again retired at the age of 87! He currently had assisted his daughter and son-in-law with rental properties for Harbor Lake LLC, Pap could fix anything!
Pap is preceded in death by his wife, Gloria, whom he met and married when he returned from the service. This year they were able to celebrate their anniversary together in heaven. He was also preceded in death by his mother, Rose; father, Francis; brothers Jim and John, and sisters, Rose, Edith, and Mary.
Pap is survived by daughter, Judy Yates (Jack); son, Frank (Rennie); grandchildren, Joe Toskey, Cher Fox (Chris) Keith Auker (Laura), Bronnie Allen (Rick) and Rebecca Toskey, and great-grandchildren, Alexander and Nicholas Toskey, Alexis, and Brayden Fox, Jacob and Hallie Spence and Aiden Allen, Valen Auker, Levi and Noah Montecinos.
Pap's greatest joy was his multi-generational family and friends. He especially enjoyed and cherished the time he spent with his children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and soon to be great-great grandchild (Josie). Pap was beloved by all who knew him for his gentle spirit, kindness, great sense of humor and joy for life!
A Celebration of Pap's life will be held at All Saints Episcopal Church, 601 Main Street, Morristown, TN, on Saturday, September 25, 2021, at 11:00A.M. Masks will be required. In lieu of flowers please make a donation in memory of Pap to the church of your choice for them to help others! Arrangements by Cremation Options, Inc.
