My deepest sympathy to the entire Fischer family.   I only recently got to know Todd and I know I am better for it.  After every conversation I ever had with him his positivity left a lasting impression.  May he rest peacefully.  Chris Oldham

I’m so sorry to hear of Todd’s passing. I hadn’t seen him for many years, but have fond memories of seeing him in PA. Sending prayers to the family from Aunt Lori. He and Tobe used to tease me about being their Aunt even though they were both older.

Heidi, Peyton, and Nicholas – I wish to express my deepest sympathy to your entire family.  Todd’s positive impact on his M&T family in a relatively short period of time can not be overstated.  He made such a genuine, personal connection with so many of us.  I consider myself very lucky to have had the good fortune to meet him personally.  I am better for it and wish you peace at this difficult time.
