Not sure what to say?

Ah dear Todd, how I remember working on Richard Strauss' final scene in Arabella with you. How lovely a person you were and with a voice to match. You are missed.

Todd was one of the best things about working at the Symphony. I have missed him since he went to the Cypress Quartet and am deeply saddened that I will not see him again. My Sympathies to Joe and his family.

Todd and I had just recently gotten back in touch. Words can't express how sorry I am for your loss. Todd was a wonderfully talented person and had such a big heart! He touched many of our lives. I am happy that I had the chance to sing with him all those years ago in High School. You will be missed!

As a friend of Todd's Mother Connie, I had the pleasure of hearing about Todd's many accomplishments. His love of life even in adversity was overwhelming and an inspiration. Todd's loss will be felt by all who knew and loved him. Keep the faith.

For those of you who were at Todd's memorial service (and for those who weren't but would like to have been), and were curious what music the Cypress Quartet played after the eulogy: it was Beethoven String Quartet in F Major, Opus 135, 3rd Movement, Lento Assai, Cantante e Tranquillo (Quite slow, singing and Peaceful). It couldn't have been a better choice, and I just purchased their recording of it from their website:...

Dear Joe and Mr. and Mrs. Donovan,

I'm sorry to hear about Todd's passing. It was a pleasure to have Todd involved with the Lambda Beta chapter of Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia at Susquehanna. You remain in my thoughts and prayers.

Another classmate has fallen. =(

Although Todd and I lost touch after I graduated from high school, I will always cherish our high school friendship. Many great memories in band over the course of those years at UDA. My deepest sympathy to his family and Joe. He will be missed but never forgotten. We all were blessed to have known Todd.

Connie, John and Joe,

So sorry to hear of Todd's passing. May you find comfort in all the wonderful memories you have of him. My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this sad time.
