TOSH, Elwood Willard

Long time resident of Guelph/Eramosa Township, passed away at Wellington Hospice on April 11, 2020, in his 96th year. Elwood shared 65 years of marriage with his sweetheart, Lois Marie Tosh nee Coulter. He was a loving father to Gordon and wife Wilma Tosh, Susan Tosh and husband Len Zaifman and Robert Tosh and Darlene Elsie. Elwood continued his love of the land after he left his farm near Rockwood in his large garden at Marden. He worked for the Ontario Ministry of Transportation for 27 years, plowing snow in the winter and maintaining the highways in the summer. Elwood and Lois enjoyed dancing on Saturday nights with the Harmony Club in Eden Mills. He was a long-time member of Trinity United Church. His wood working projects raised funds for many charities and are special in our families’ homes. Dad, your work is done. He was an inspiration to his grandchildren, Marilyn Kralt, Jennifer Gleva, Ben Tinholt, Mischa Kavin, Nikolas Rukavina, Noah Zaifman, Micheal Tosh, Scott Tosh and great-grandchildren.
