Stephen W. Toth, 87, of Middletown, died on Monday, May 22 at his home. He was born and raised in Carteret. Called Pete by all his friends, he served in the US Army during the Korean War before starting his 40-year career at AT&T Bell Labs as a draftsman and retiring as a supervisor of the Program Administration Group. Upon retirement, he built handicap ramps as a member of the AT&T Pioneer Group. One of his favorite outings was having lunch with childhood friends every Friday at Moby Dick’s Restaurant.
