Donald Todd passed away peacefully at Norfinch Care Community on February 23, 2018 at the age of 82 with family by his side. Don will be lovingly remembered by his children, Karen, Glenn, Don and Melissa. Don will also be fondly remembered by his 8 grandchildren, Mike and (Sarrah) Fisher, Nathan Fisher, Andrea and (Dane) Henderson, Griffin, Shawna (Brandon), Benjamin, Christopher and Clinton. He was the proud great-grandpa to Benjamin, William, Michael, Cameron, Colton, Brynlee, Landon and Harley. He was the much loved twin brother to Donita (Mitzi) Cribben and cherished brother to the late Doris Todd. He was a beloved son to the late Arthur and Edna. He was a dear and cherished friend to the late Jeanine Carnegie. Don will be greatly missed by many nieces, nephews, extended family and friends.

Don was born in Montreal and moved to Toronto as a young adult. Don was a Steamfitter by trade from the age of 21 until retirement, and a proud member of Local 46 since 1956. He was an avid curler for many years, a long standing member of his local curling club, and a hockey and baseball enthusiast. Don gave donations to charity organizations over the years including; The Princess Margaret Hospital Foundation, The Canadian Cancer Society, The Sick Kids Foundation, and the Toronto Humane Society. Don had a lifelong love of animals. Not only did he help and care for many animals throughout his life, he was always offering a helping hand to anyone in need. Most of all, Don loved spending time with his family both at home and at the cottage. Don will be forever loved and dearly missed by all who knew him. May he rest in peace.

In honor of Don, memorial donations may be made to World Wildlife Fund Canada.

I will always remember Mr Todd as being a kind and gentle soul. Whenever I came over to visit his daughter Melissa, he always greeted me with a warm friendly smile and would fondly tell tales of the neighborhoods stray cats he would take in and feed. His love for animals and his family always shone through. My sincerest condolences to the family

All of us at WWF thank Donald for asking that donations be made to WWF to conserve wildlife in Canada. His love of animals is inspiring.

my sincere condolences to the family. I first met Donald at the age of 7 when my parents bought the house next door to the Todd’s on Donlands in 47. We were fresh off the boat and they became like family to us. We spent many Christmas and New Years dinners together. Very happy memories. Donald along with his sisters babysat us for many years. Our parents remained friends for life.
