Todd Lawton Stafford

Well it has almost been 10 years since you left the earth, and another 40 years since I last saw you at our graduation from Berkshire. I will always remember how kind and friendly you were to me when most boys that age weren't anything like that. You had a very special gift that no one else had. I'm so very sad to hear that you died. Too soon! One less bright light gone but never forgotten. Rest in peace.

Love,
Lisa Wardell

Topper the Toad, Scooter the Pie is praying for you White Mountain School Class of 1979, dorm mate and best friend.

Well Todd, it is Musikfest and it is not the same without you. I just found out about your passing and it is making me and my kids very sad - they loved seeing you too! Once a year to catch up on what's been happening in your life! You will be missed forever!

I've known Toad as a best friend for 35 years and my memories with him are limitless to a level greatly truncated to fill a novel. He lived life always at 10/10ths, as a rich pageant and on his terms, changing the lives of all he came in contact with for the better. He passed in the only manner he would have accepted, passionately while saving others. He was one one of the most robust personalities on the planet and a man few will ever forget. He was my soulmate and I will forever celebrate...

Todd & I bacame good buddies and had many laughs when we worked together at Bear Creek Assisted Living in West Windsor. I recently out of no where ran into him as he was at my new work place, Bella Terra Assisted Living in Jackson, as he was meeting up with our Director of Nursing. After not seeing Todd for over four years it was a good surprise and immediately started talking about the good old times we had and began making plans to meet and catch back up. Sadly, after only a couple phone...

Thank you all for your warm and generous thoughts. I am one of Todd's older brothers and I gave a eulogy at his service (I am happy to share it with any of you who could not attend - [email protected]). Topper Todd touched so many people - only now are we beginning to understand just how many people knew and loved him. I am truly heart broken and can't really describe the sense of loss but I know he would want us all to get on with it, to live our lives with reckless abandon. ...

My husband (Marc) and I were shocked and saddened to learn about the passing of Todd. We remember with fondness swimming in the Society Hill pool where we live. From our townhouse we can see Todd's. He was such a gentle, kind, fun-loving person that we enjoyed talking to and swimming with. We shall miss him very much.

I worked with Todd several years ago. His charisma, love for life, and ability to connect with people was unheard of and remarkable. Todd was the type of guy that could pull the friend out of anyone. He had the ability to make awful situations seem "not so bad".
I will truly miss speaking with him. Todd could take you on an adventure to simply speaking with him. I will truly miss his zest and always willing to be a friend . Todd had something unique and special about him that is...
