Family and friends of Daniel George Toro gathered to celebrate the Mass of the Resurrection and entrust his soul to the love and mercy of God. One of seven children, Dan enlisted in the US Marine Corps at the age of eighteen. He served during the Vietnam conflict and was honorably discharged in 1967, earning the Vietnam Service Medal and Republic of Vietnam Campaign Medal, as well as the National Defense Service Medal. In time, Dan obtained a teaching certificate and devoted his time and talent to serve others. He advocated for the underprivileged and taught developmentally disabled adults until his weakening health made it necessary for him to retire. St. Mary Parish extends its sympathy and continuing prayerful support to Dan’s family: his wife, Marcia, his daughter, Amanda (Tyler) Collins, his brothers, Joseph and Michael, his sister, Colleen; his grandchildren, Kathleen, Jasmine, Vada, and Josie and his great-granddaughters; Kaycee and Madeline. May the hope of the resurrection comfort you and bring you peace.
