Shirley and I are deeply saddened to learn that Dr. Melvin Todd has passed. I don’t believe that he fully knew the extent that he was a personal and professional role model and mentor to so many public sector professionals, including myself. He truly made a difference to so many during his distinguished career!

Dr Todd was an outstanding educator and an upstanding Christian man. My parents (Wallace and Wanda Fleming Johnson), also educators, had the highest regard for Dr Todd. I got to know him through our church, Tabernacle Baptist Church. I extend my deepest sympathy to his family. May you find comfort in knowing that he is now resting in the arms of Jesus. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Trust God to see you through this difficult time. Love is everlasting.

Dr. Todd was one of the reasons why Douglass High School and its graduates are renowned around the world. Its difficult to find educators and administrators who are more dedicated and conscientious than Dr. Todd. I also knew Dr. Todd and his wife from Tabernacle Baptist Church, where he was one of many accomplished educators that inspired legions of young people over the decades. My prayers are with the family in their great loss. May you be comforted with the rich memories of his life.

Mr. Todd was an educator at heart. He was a phenomenal person as well. He encouraged me to participate in educational activities I never would have perused! He cared about the students not just as kids, but as productive human beings with the potential to be anything we wanted to be, go anyplace we wanted to go in life, and to be successful at everything we pursued. We loved Mr. Todd. He never ever forgot who we were, even after we grew up and grew older. It is an honor and a blessing to have known Melvin Todd. He will always be in our hearts.

So saddened to hear of Dr. Todd’s passing. He was a beacon of hope during my time in high school, 1967-1971, at Northeast. I played in the orchestra and loved to go on band trips. He got me out of trouble, talked with my parents, and encouraged me to give my best! I have remembered him all these years, along with the lifelong friendships we made during our years together as young people who accepted each other and made a difference in the world.
