I just heard about Todds passing and wish to extend my condolences to Donna and the family. He was my Chrysler credit contact in DC area in the 1980s as well as a groomsman in my wedding. I'm sure he is missed. Larry Armstrong Williamsburg Va

Like others, I had the privilege of working with Todd back at National City. He was a great individual to work with both as a mentor and a friend. He really took a personal interest in guiding my career development and it is no understatement to say that over a decade later I am still reaping the benefits today from the effort he invested back then. I am so grateful that my path in life crossed with that of this great guy and I have nothing but fond memories of our time together. My deepest sympathies to his family.

I had the privilege if working with Todd. He was so kind hearted and caring of his coworkers. He always made time to exchange words. His love for his family was palpable. He has touched many lives.

Todd lived life with the utmost class and integrity. He also made a significant positive impact on my personal and professional development. He was my manager for many years but more importantly a friend, mentor and confidant. Todd had a calm and soothing communication style that made you comfortable. He will truly be missed. Deepest sympathies to Donna, The Friesner family and all who knew Todd gone much too soon.

Donna and family, Denise and send our prayers and thoughts to you. Todd was a great friend and work peer, in that order. Top of the conversation was always our families and he enjoyed being a husband, father, and pet lover! We had a chance to travel together and always enjoyed his company and his friendship. Always up for a good cup of coffee or glass of wine, he loved others and is well loved. We love you guys and send our prayers of comfort.

"Our deepest sympathies to Donna and family. Cathy and I have great memories with Todd over the years. While we met at work, he was far more than a co-worker. We will cherish all the fun times and laughs we had and hearing about your Hawaii trips. Todd will be missed but the legacy of all the lives he impacted will live on.
Keeping you in our thoughts forever, With deepest sympathy

My thoughts are with the family. Todd was a friend through my Alma College years and my brother Kevin Cuny's son in the fraternity. May he be at peace.

To Donna and family: My heartfelt sympathies to you all; I had the great pleasure of working with Todd during his vice-presidency at Alma College. Seldom in my experience was there a more enthusiastic and dedicated supporter of and advocate for the institution.

Words can not sum up what Todd's friendship meant to me. Seeing Todd and Donna at my fathers memorial this summer, and knowing they came up from Cleveland meant the world to me. I always looked forward to seeing you when you would stop in, and after you left Alma College when you were in for coffee. I will never forget you and you have left a lasting impact on my life as a close friend. I will miss you.
