Maurice Andrew Toler

Maurice A. Toler, 73, Bidwell, Ohio passed away Thursday, December 3, 2020 at his home surrounded by his family. He was born July 8, 1947 in Gallia County, Ohio the son of Dorothy (Thomas) Toler, Bidwell, Ohio and the late Andrew Toler. He attended Bidwell Grade School and graduated from North Gallia High School in 1965. He worked in retail and insurance before starting a construction business as well as a farming operation that he operated successfully for the next forty-five years.

Maurice loved anything to do with cattle, farming, machinery and deer and pheasant hunting. He was an avid gun collector and looked forward each year to hunting trips out west and hosting deer hunting in Ohio for his family and friends.

He leaves behind to cherish these memories his wife, Patricia J. Toler and children: Matthew A. (Amy) Toler, Bidwell, Ohio and Patricia A. (Will) Luckeydoo, Gallipolis, Ohio; the joys of his life, grandsons Rees and Myles Toler; sister and brother, Janet (Don) Browning and Ron (Terri) Toler, both of Bidwell, Ohio as well as a host of nieces, nephews, and extended family members.

In addition to his father, he was preceded in death by his grandparents, Maurice and Marie Thomas.

While hunting and farming were his love, his family and friends were his passion. He made sure everyone had everything they needed and more – he would do anything for a friend or family member. He was proud of his children and was a true "Paps" to Rees and Myles. He will be greatly missed.

Due to COVID-19 concerns, Private Graveside services will be conducted at the convenience of the family with no visitation to be held. The McCoy-Moore Funeral Home, Wetherholt Chapel, Gallipolis, Ohio is honored to serve the Toler Family.

In lieu of flowers, the family is requesting donation consideration in honor of Maurice to:
