John P. O'Toole, Sr. (Pecky), passed away peacefully on March 21, 2015. Husband of Geraldine(nee Bucholz); father of 3 daughters, Geraldine and Denise O'Toole, Karen Farrell(Harold), and 3 sons, John, Jr.(Audrey), Michael(Kay) and Jeffrey(Tammy); also survived by 17 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren.
He became a fighter who overcame any obstacle that was in front of him and would instill this in his children and grandchildren. Not only did he never give up on himself, but he never gave up on his family and loved them all the same. He was loving and kind to those he met in life and never turned a blind eye to help them out.
He was the son of Benjamin R. O'Toole, Sr. and Anna M. O'Toole(nee Ferro); brother of Mary L. Koller(nee O'Toole), Ann Weney, Albert(Joan)O'Toole and Joan and John Pacitti(Joan's maiden name is O'Toole). Also surviving John is his sister-in-law Joan(Doebley)O'Toole. He is also survived by many nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews and cousins.
He was predeceased by brothers, Benjamin R. O'Toole, Jr., Robert O'Toole, Sr., Harry J. O'Toole, Sr. He was also predeceased by 2 nephews, Albert F. O'Toole, Jr. and Daniel P. O'Toole.
When I would call Johnny on his cell phone in the later morning, I'd ask him where he was and he invariably said "I'm going to Wawa to get a cup of coffee." I hope there are Wawas in Heaven.
My brother Johnny was one of a kind. I shall miss him forever.
Relatives and friends are invited to his Funeral Service Wednesday 11 a. m. at THE JOSEPH A. QUINN FUNERAL HOME, Corner Roosevelt Blvd. & Sanger St. where friends may call after 10 a. m. Interment private.
In lieu of flowers, contributions in his memory to the American Heart Assocation, 5455 N. High St., Columbus, Ohio 43214.
JOHNNY: Our nephew Ray's son Tommy passed away about 10 days ago. Please take care of him.
NOTE: Since my brother John's death on March 21, one of our sisters passed away. She passed away on July 18, 2015. Her name was Anna Marie Weney(nee O'Toole).
In January 2021, our sister-in-law Joan S. O'Toole(nee Doebly), Harry J. O'Toole, Sr.'s wife joined the O'Tooles in Heaven.
On March 10, 2021, our sister Mary Lucy Koller(nee O'Toole), joined them in Heaven.
NOTE: Since my brother Johnny has not yet been buried, I'm deleting the cemetery name of Holy Sepluchre(not sure of spelling). On approximately April 6, 2020, his wife, Gerry O'Toole joined him in heaven.
If this changes, I'll do my best to add the information.
