John William Contos, Jr. age 80, of Toledo, OH, passed away at Genoa Care Center peacefully Saturday, January 28, 2023 in his sleep after a seven-month illness. He was born in Toledo, OH to John Sr. and Harriett (Bundy) Contos on February 23, 1942. John worked for many years as a mechanical engineer for LOF and later for Toledo Edison. He retired in 2007 as a USDA grain inspector. John was a lifelong member of Calvin United Church of Christ, serving on the Consistory for many years, and he enjoyed playing dartball and making kolbasz. He enjoyed collecting stamps and coins, classic cars, crossword puzzles, and his favorite sports team, the Cleveland Indians. John’s greatest joy was spending time with his family.
