Not sure what to say?

We were on vacation in the Midwest when Jerry died. My daughter and I saw him at the center just before we left and he was playing cards. We will miss him very much, he was responsible for saving our daughters life over 40 years ago. Our best to Alice and Jerry's family.

We are so sorry to hear of Dr Todd's passing. He has been an important part of our lives for over 50 years. My husband, Glen, and I both went to Dr Todd before we knew each other He not only delivered each of our 4 children, but was pediatrician to all of them. When he was getting ready to retire, he became pediatrician to our grandson, Greg Rohr. Think that was his last young patient and he loved every minute of it. We were so happy to have him ( & Alice) join us at the graduation...

Dear Alice and Todd family,
Celebrating a life well lived. We will cherish the memories forever. We have such pleasant memories of being with Jerry Todd, our dinners out and special occasions we shared with him.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort. I will remember all the dinners we had at PapaJoe's with all our family and friends. I'm sure he will be keeping on eye on all the friends he made here

Dr. Todd was OUR doctor, and the entire family felt extremely possesive of him. We first saw him when we moved to Milwaukie/Portland from CA in 1959, and remained with him until he retired. We always knew he was one-of-a-kind, and his retirement proved it. He was either the surgeon or assisted, for each one of us who needed surgery, and visited us while we were hospitalized. He called us each by name, and always had a pat on the shoulder for whoever was patient. When he felt we needed a...

Dear family of Dr.Todd,

Please accept my condolences on your loss.

I remember him, and his joining the practice of my father, Dr. William H. Thayer at the office on Milwaukie at Bybee in Westmorland. The two men shared Good Samaritan Hospital and an enjoyment of General Practice.

Sincerely, Betsy Gunther

Dr. Todd touched our lives by the kindness of meeting two families’ needs. One April day-I was fortunate enough to be placed as a newborn infant in the most loving home possible. 51+years ago a young girl came into his care and a couple that were unable to have children were connected.
All our lives and futures would be changed for the better.

We heard about Dr. Todd's passing from my wifes brother Richard Graves. We, Kenneth and Sigrid Stewart, now live in southern California. We wish to relate to his family probably our greatest life happening.

Sigrid "Graves" Stewart was a long time patient of Dr. Todd until we married and move to Washington in 1966. In the next year Sigrid was in Portland visiting with her family when she had a very bad pain. She ended up in the hospital needing a operation. It seems that a long...

I knew Dr Todd over a forty year plus time frame professionally. As a physical therapist I worked with his son when he was a boy with polio at Dr Arthur Jones office. Later, in my private practice, he referred many clients to to my physical therapy service. He himself became one of my clients. I considered him a good friend to me and my wife Eula.
