Mr and Mrs Wurster, I am so sorry to learn of the passing of Todd; truly gone too soon. I understand he had been ill for some time, that is unfortunate. He was such a sweetheart to work with during Oliver! A natural entertainer! May those of you left behind be blessed with wonderful memories to hold him close to your hearts.
with sympathy,

Todd and I met when we were in "Anything Goes", my first community theater play. He was Moonface Martin and I was Bonnie, the gangster's moll. I was amazed at his talent, and he was only 16 at the time. He was a very dear person who spent his short life bringing laughter and happiness into the lives of others. I can just picture him in heaven entertaining the angels and keeping them in hysterics. I will never forget him.

Todd would walk into the classroom at JCC and do a pratfall. Anything for a laugh. He was an amazing comedian and is gone too soon.

I always told people about Todd - truly of the funniest people I've ever met. When a bunch of us went out after a show, he had me laughing so hard that my sides literally hurt. My deepest sympathies to his family, he will be missed.

Todd and I went to JCC together back in the old days and we traveled with the Rosier Players. I have many fond memories of our time on and off stage. He could always make me laugh. My deepest sympathy.
