Duncan and family: I am sorry to hear about the passing of your Dad. He was such a giant in the printing industry. I'll always remember him as friendly and approachable man who shared his tremenous knowledge with everyone. As a long-time member of Printing Industries of New England our paths crossed frequently and we enjoyed "sea stories" about the industry as well as its changing technology and even its "gossip."
Our deepest sympathy to you and the family at this time.

Duncan and Family-

It was with a great sense of loss that I heard about the passing of Mr. Todd. He was a beacon of enlightenment in my early career and encouraged me to, in essense, be brave and strong. I tried and am still trying. I'm sure he practiced what he preached and for that alone he should be considered a rare and special person. I know you will miss him, as will others. However, he will be long loved and well remembered.

Duncan - Sorry to hear about your Dad passing away. It sounds like he had a very rich life. We will be celebrating my Dad's 88th birthday in October. As did your Dad, my father helped show me the way. I'm sure he was very proud of you. Best, Peter

My condolences in the passing of Mr. Todd. I often mention Thomas Todd Printing because that was my first job while in high school. I delivered menus to the various restaurants around Boston. I had the honor of meeting both your Grandfather and Father. They were wonderful to know and work for. Thomas Todd Printing will forever remain in my mind and conversation

Tom was my most favorite gentleman. He always made me smile. About 10 years ago someone told me he was interested in delegating his responsibilities as "financial guru" for the Printing and Publishing Council. When I asked him about it, he wrinkled his brow and asked gruffly where I'd ever heard such a thing! He will be very much missed by those of us who grew up with him as a fixture of both the printing industry and the council. My sincere sympathy to his family.

My condolences to the extended family.  I first knew Tom through business associations in the 1970s.  These developed further through activities of the Society of Printers and the New England Printing and Publishing Council, where I followed after Tom as Treasurer.  Tom was a pleasure to know and to work with=--diligent, mannerly, and yet with a crusty style and a twinkle.  A font of knowledge about finances, he taught me--and I would think others -- with a willingness and enthusiasm.  He enjoyed his life, his work and his family, and has left us with good memories.

Thomas Todd's printing company set standards of the highest quality and his example of integrity has influenced my whole career. I also admired Tom's fidelity to his business colleagues and to the scholarship funds of the Printing and Publishing Council of New England. He has left a great legacy of accomplishment and humanity.

My sincere wishes to Mr Todd's family and friends.
Thomas often engaged me in conversation during his stay at Golden Living Center, while I was visiting my Mom, who has been there almost 3 years.
He was quick to introduce himself by name and was aware of others around him.
Life can be a long road, frequently with many bumps along the way.
Hopefully, friends and family help to smooth the path to eternal peace.

You are in my thoughts and prayers at this time.

Ginny and family - My life is that much richer for the friendship, counsel and wisdom that was Tom Todd. From my perspective, the Town of Littleton was well served by Tom's participation on the Personnel Board, Trust Fund and other boards and committees through the years. Always thoughtful and well spoken, Tom would wait before he'd articulate and crystalize the subject matter at hand. It was wonderful to learn from him and just spend time with him. May your memories of a long and wonderful life together sustain you in the days ahead; along with the knowledge that Tom will always be one of those rare people remembered as a "gentleman". It was my great privilege and pleasure to have known him and I will miss him.
