I was thinking of Todd a couple of days ago and remembering all the great times and food we had at Tats... it was such a great place to meet up everyday with friends and we all watched the last episode of "friends " together. It was definitely our version of "friends"and Todd made everyone feel at home when they were there. Thanks for all the memories... you are solely missed

I am so sorry to see this news. I was Todd's roommate in college and I just moved to delray beach and tried looking him up. I am heart broken and will keep him and his family in my prayers. I will forever remember the fun times and struggles we had our first year together in Johnson and Wales. Rest in peace Todd.

Don and I shared many good times with Todd, he loved being larger than life with everyone he met. He was such a good chef, that he invented a new family favorite dish right from our pantry after a fishing trip. "Snook Todd" would have won him awards on Top Chef! He drank eggnog with us on Christmas Eve many years while helping us put our children's toys together. He made us laugh often and live life to the fullest. Though he was, in the end, taken too young, we will always have our memories and his wonderful children to keep him alive for us forever.

I am truly sadden to hear of Todd's passing. He was a great person with a huge heart who had a passion for family, friends, life and good times. I will always remember his generosity and willingness to help a kid from MA become acquainted with South Florida. To this day I remain a Miami Hurricanes fan because of Todd's infectious passion for the Canes and the many memorable games we attended together! May you find comfort in the warm memories Todd brought to so many. My thoughts and prayers go out to the entire Tendrich family.

Warmest Regards, Jerry Vulgaris

Just wanted you to know how sorry we our for your loss and how often I think of you and your family.
Do you remember when the kids went to SANBORN'S in Co? You & Steve, Lorraine & Jeff and Bob & I had taken the kids out of camp to spend the nite at he the motel. After breakfast, we were all getting ready to return to camp when our son Gregg was playing w/ the car keys. He was throwing them up in the air & catching them when, all of a sudden, he didn't!They landed on top of this 2 story motel & we couldn't get them. Enter TODD..he not only saved the day but saved Gregg from getting thrown on the rooftop!

Jeff Nudelman called me on Friday to let me know what was happening. So sad. Todd was one of the first friends my brother Terry and I met in Florida. We carpooled to high school football practice. Saw him about 6 months ago at Publix and met his wife Liz. Too many memories to revisit through high school, college and afterward. My wishes extend to all of you and know that I hurt too.
