Dear Dianne and family
I'm so sorry for your loss. Todd was a true mentor and teacher. Working with both of you gave me different points of view. He will be greatly missed.

Dear Diane, Andrew and Matthew,

Tim and I want to express our heartfelt sympathy for the loss of Todd. We remember with fondness the soccer season we had with Coach Savarese and what a great person he was. No words can help heal your pain, but be certain we will be praying for you and be close by if you need us. Fondly, Carolyn and Timothy Benson

Dear Diane, Matthew and Andrew:

I'm so sorry for the sudden and shocking loss of Todd. We spent several years as very close friends as undergraduates at University of Pennsylvania. He always wanted to help people, was kind, funny, humble, and truly one of a kind. I'm glad that my wife, Janet, had the chance to meet Todd and Diane, and to see the man who shared so many college stories.

In Sympathy,

Dr. Gary Seeman and Janet Birgenheier

Dear Savarese Family,

I am so sorry to hear this tragic news. I worked with Todd in the Cancer Center at Umass under Peter Quesenberry. Todd helped me so much during my pregnancy with my son. He was the most supportive and understanding person I have ever known or had the pleasure of working with. I will sorely miss his smiling face in the corridors of Umass.
With Sadness and Shock,
Marguerite Joly

Dear Diane and family,
I know it's been a long time, but time doesn't diminish the wonderful memories I have of you, Todd and I touring Europe. I'm so sorry for your loss, will keep you all in my prayers and hope that the support of family and friends give you strength during this difficult days.
Love, Maryellen Thomas O'Brien

Todd will be so deeply missed by the musicians he mentored in the Middlesex Fife and Drum, and by their parents. He was a quiet inspiration, generous in his counsel to kids and in his devotion of time to managing the corps. When we first came to the corps, Todd went out of his way to make us feel welcome. In the Lincoln Center performance, I felt safe in New York because Todd had help everything to go smoothly. What an extraordinary man! How lucky we were to have our lives intersect with his!...

The Savarese Family

My deepest condolences are with you at this very difficult time. Todd was such a wonderful person it is difficult to fathom why he was taken from us in such an untimely manner. Stay strong--our thoughts are with you.

All my love,

Lucy

Diane, Matthew and Andrew are prayers are with all of you. Todd was a special man, a devoted father and husband. No words can begin to address the sorrow you feel or soothe the hurt. We were honored to know Todd.

Diane,

I worked in Pharmacology at Brown and for a number of years and fondly remember Todd as a "graduate student" who used our department refrigerator as his "only refigerator". I did attend your wedding with department colleagues - I remember it was beautiful.

So very sorry to hear about Todd - he was a very special person.

My deepest sympathy.
