I only learned today that Jeffrey had passed, which came as a complete shock to me. Afterward, I went to a park and gazed out at the water, pondering the traumatic effect on his loved ones. I said a prayer for the Todd family.....and hope that the beautiful remembrances of his life with you will bring you some measure of comfort. I knew him from Roy Rogers restaurant on RTE 1. He was a really great guy!

I just learned today of Jeffrey's death - and this news made my heart so sad. I drove to a park and sat for a long time looking out upon the water and thinking of Jeffrey and what a profound loss his family must feel. As a longtime Roy Roger's restaurant patron, I found him to always exemplify the characteristics of a wonderful, caring person. To see him in the restaurant was an extra-special treat!!

I met Jeff through our children. Becky was a classmate of one of my daughters. What a great man. I will never forget seeing his smiling face at all the Roy Rogers Hayfield fundraisers.

A fantastic father, friend and he will be so missed. Heaven has gotten a wonderful Angel. Diane Davis

Becky, This whole week I've been telling my friends the funny story about how you & Jeff met in the Roy Rogers drive-thru. I know this is the worst of times, but try to remember the happy times and the wonderful life you created & shared. May those memories comfort you. Tell them over & over to your girls to keep Jeff's spirit in their lives.

I didn't know Jeff really well, nor did I know him for a long time. But Jeff was one of those rare individuals who, the first time you meet him, you think to yourself "what a great guy!"

I'll never forget him, and I extend my deepest sympathies and best wishes to the whole family.

Jeff was a good man. There is simply no way to emphasize that enough.
I met Jeff through the Mount Vernon Lee Chamber of Commerce. It did not take me long to realize how important he was to our community. His commitment to his people, to service and to quality in his restaurants was matched with his firm commitment to give back to his community. And he did so in droves. His self deprecating humor masked his real role in our community. Jeff always referred to himself as "just a burger guy". He was so much more. Goodness is contagious and Jeff spread it from High School Booster to Chamber of Commerce to Church to friends and so much more. He wanted to be perfect at everything and it was that constant battle for perfection that energized him.
Our community grieves. We shall miss him dearly.
