David was a dedicated educator, retiring from both Lancaster City and Fairfield County schools. “Mr. Todd” couldn’t go anywhere without running into former students and colleagues who were always happy to see him. David enjoyed traveling especially to Hocking Hills, Lake Erie, Washington, DC, Disney World and other locales. David’s undergraduate education was at The Ohio State University and he was an avid Buckeye fan. He had master’s degrees in education administration from Xavier and Ashland Universities. David was a member of the Buckeye Lake Yacht Club, and enjoyed attending activities there and spending time on the porch enjoying the view of the lake. David also enjoyed fishing, coin collecting, fine dining, watching football games and going to golf tournaments; but more than anything else, he loved helping people. David Todd was the soul of generosity, always lending a hand to his family, friends, and neighbors. He was cared for by so many people. Our loving memories of his acts of kindness, sense of humor, giving personality and warm smile will keep him fresh in our hearts forever.
