My deepest condolences to all his family and friends. The world has lost an amazing person. RIP Todd.

Todd was a dear friend. Always generous, kind, and often hilarious. He gave me the gift of laughter when I needed it most. I will never forget him.

I knew Todd only via email and sometimes long Skype talks as I was trying to help him with his books. I loved his crazy sense of humour and the mad men stories of his ad days. My partner also suffers from chronic pain and Todd was always trying to help. I was hoping to meet up with him on our next trip to the US and am so sad this will never be. Jurgen Wolff

You will be missed, Todd.

It is so ironic that someone who brought joy to so many should have suffered from pain himself. We had so many good times in our golden teenage days in Millburn. I will miss not having him in the world. Alan Schulman (Helsinki, Finland)

I am so saddened to learn of Todd's passing. At Levine Huntley, he was a man of boundless energy and a rapier wit who created truly memorable advertising. We worked together on a TV campaign for Genesee Light Beer, trading quips and gags for use in 50's style black and white industrial films, while in between we had discussions about cyberspace and William Gibson's "Neuromancer." Rest In Peace, Todd, and heartfelt condolences to all his family and loved ones.

RIP old friend. It was a good run with lots of laughs and great memories.
You will be missed.

Todd was an amazing person, deep, so so intelligent and funnier than anyone I know. It is such a loss to the planet that he is gone. It is such a loss to me and to my family. He will stay beloved in our memory. I hope all of you in his family can be soothed in the face of the pain of this loss by consoling memories, memories of the wonderful times you shared and the deepness of your connection. All our love,
Jill Teltser Kimelman (and Boaz, Atid and Josh Kimelman)
