Todd Orton Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Feb. 12, 2009.
ATTLEBORO – Todd William Orton passed away at home on Monday morning, February 9, 2009 at the age of 39. He currently resided with his best friend, Jessica Lee Pasquerillo and their two children, Kassandra Leigh and Tyler William. He is also survived by his parents, Von and Joyce Orton; his brothers, David, Scott and Brett Orton and his sister, Janine Phillips. He also leaves behind his aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews.

Todd is described by those who knew him as a thoughtful and considerate man who was always there to lend a hand if needed. He volunteered many hours at HMEA in North Attleboro.

His children will always remember his trips to Vermont, the place closest to his heart, Boston Bruins games and many camping adventures. He was self-employed for the past several years as a handyman and is best known for his carpentry skills. Todd will be missed by all who knew him.

Visiting hours to celebrate Todd’s life will be held on Friday, February 13, 2009 from 6 to 9 p.m. in the SPERRY & McHOUL FUNERAL HOME, 15 Grove Street, North Attleboro. A prayer service officiated by the Reverend David A. Costa will be held at 8 p.m.

I'm so sorry to hear of Todd's passing. I have very fond memories of Todd from HMEA and from the short time we shared an apartment in Attleboro. I can't think of a time that he ever dissapointed me, but rather he could always make me laugh. My thoughts are with his family. To Joyce and Janine, I've missed you and my sympathies are with you.

Not, How Did He Die, But How Did He Live?

Not how did he die, but how did he live?
Not what did he gain, but what did he give?
These are the units to measure the worth
Of a man as a man, regardless of birth.
Not, what was his church, nor what was his creed?
But had he befriended those really in need?
Was he ever ready, with word of good cheer,
To bring back a smile, to banish a tear?
Not what did the sketch in the newspaper say,
But how many were sorry when he passed away.
