Heinrich (Hank) Toth July 6, 1937 – May 10, 2025 Heinrich (Hank) Toth, a longtime resident of San Antonio, Texas, passed away peacefully in his sleep on May 10, 2025. Born to Fransiska and Franz Toth in Yugoslavia on July 6, 1937, Hank was the sixth of seven children. During World War II, his mother fled Yugoslavia with three small children for Germany when the Russians invaded, and they successfully escaped and settled in Bavaria. At the age of 14, Hank left home to pursue a four-year apprenticeship in cabinet making. In 1956, he immigrated to the United States with his parents, settling in New York, where he worked in his chosen profession. Hank enlisted in the army in 1958, earning his GED while serving, and was stationed in Germany, where he met his first wife and had two sons, Jonny and Andrew. His military career included extensive travels, including two tours in Vietnam. After divorcing and retiring from the army, Hank settled in San Antonio, where he met the love of his life Barbara Balusek and married her on November 26, 1982. They spent over 42 years together until his passing. Following his military retirement, Hank worked on outfitting privately owned aircraft until 2002, after which he spent his time on various hobbies, including gardening and woodworking, until his health declined. Hank is preceded in death by his parents, three brothers, two sisters, father-in-law, and sister-in-law. He is survived by his loving wife, Barbara, two sons and their wives, Jonny (& Anita) and Andrew (& Elizabeth), grandchildren Andrea (& Mustafa), Leah, and David, and great-grandson Jonah, mother-in-law Edith, brother-in-law Robert, several nieces and nephews, and Trudy Walker, the mother of his sons. The family extends their heartfelt gratitude to Enhabit Hospice for their compassion and support, especially Amanda, Ernest, and Rosa.
