Tod Paul Sweeney died peacefully after a hard fought battle with cancer on March 1, 2010. He was in the place he loved most in the world, his home in Sonoma Valley, surrounded by his wife and two beloved sons. Tod was only 56 but he made the most of those blessed years. Tod was born on Nov. 22,...

Not sure what to say?

Dear Sweeney Family,
Growing up with Tod in Greenbrae made him a part of all the Tuckers lives and memories. We are grateful for that past, and have always appreciated knowing that the familiarity and friendship would be there whenever our paths crossed. Enjoy the smiles as you frequently remember Tod, and we will too.

Mr. Sweeney...what can I say other than MHS and the world has truly lost someone special. You were my teacher for 3 years and I can't begin to tell you all the great memories I have of you and your class. Your spirit as a teacher and person whas truly amazing...anyone who was lucky enough to have you graze their life knows it. You were there for all of us at MHS and I can't thank you enough for all that you have done. My daugher will be attending Montgomery next year and you were the one...

Sweendoggy, you were the best! MHS will be a sadder place without your charm and good humor. You were our fearless leader in Student Gov't 1993-96. I always loved coming back to visit you and Jackson and reminiscing. Keep 'em rollin' in the aisles up there - we'll see you later! Much love to your family.

Cheryl, Tyler and Austin, I knew Tod from the Loyola Rome Center. He was exactly as you describe him here. A real presence; very funny, and a good friend to all who knew him. I can see him with High School students; and especially as a loving husband and a great Dad.

I knew him only briefly. You are the lucky ones to have had him in your lives.

God Bless you all. Tod will be missed by all who knew him.

Sincerely,

Sue O'Shaughnessy Walsh

Mr. Sweeney was my teacher at Montgomery High school over 10 years ago. He was always making me laugh and I truly enjoyed being in his class. Thank you Mr. Sweeney! You may be gone but not forgotten.

I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Mr. Sweeney. He was a wonderful teacher with a LOT of personality! I will never forget when he and another teacher dressed up at an assembly. Mr. Sweeney was Neil Diamond, and the other (I think it was Mr. Jackson) was Barbra Streisand. They lip synched to "You Don't Bring Me Flowers Anymore." I still chuckle when I think of it. I called him Mr. Diamond the rest of my years at Montgomery. (Occasionally bowing, saying that I was not worthy.) In my...

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.
